Inscribed On Palms

Every hand tells a story
    life's adventures inscribed on palms
  Lines of wisdom, hints of psalms

  Yet destiny wears out her rhymes
    on riverbanks of sorrow
  Dreams not lent nor borrowed

This is a sad pondering, as Kim has already noted. So beautifully penned Gershon. God bless you my friend.

Though I don't have an INKling of what you're referring to, Joe, this is a comment that I much enjoyed. Thank you, Gershon
