Inside a Handshake

My father said there's much to tell In how people might shake your hand As someone grasps to wish you well Or maybe, they seem not so grand Some reveal surprise in their eyes Secrets withheld - then bonds do break Peering deeper, you sense a guise Little lies put relations at stake Look inside with this simple act My father's opinion, not a fact First impressions signal a cue Help for those who need a clue Heartfelt handshakes friends do make Solitary clasps for goodness sake
