Grandma Knows

Mystical star in middle of palm
Deeply cut and dancing
Foretelling fantastic things
Leading straight to a cosmic triangle
Which perches precariously on the top
Imagination all over the place is this child’s fate
You cannot tell that! Her mother says with a laugh.
Grandmother meets my eyes and we both smile, knowing.

This is darling. I used to have a very special relationship with my "Grandma". Thank you, xomo!

You probably still do. Even when they get to heaven they watch us.

aha, this is really cool. I happen to believe in palm reading. I sure hope it's true. My lines are interesting!! I bet this little boy's are too.

I think all lines are interesting. It is sad when you see a bunch of breaks around the life line. This is supposed to mean bad health.
