My Hands

The map of my hands Reveal many roads Some now traveled Some untold I look at my hands And wonder what's next Will the coming road be simple Or maybe complex They say your hands tell a story Of the life you are to live So many weaving roads So much information to give But for all the knowledge my hands possess There is one thing I must confess I don't read palms so at my life I guess What oh what is to happen next Do my hands reveal secrets of what is to come That could be hooey But here's a good rule of thumb Live life everyday and take it as it comes Play the hand you are dealt And don't dwell too long On the roads not traveled And the songs unsung And please just please Speak with truthful tongue My hands may tell stories Of what life is to be But I will just have to wait Just wait and see

Your hand writes beautifully. A window to your soul. And yes, you've said it very well. Part's of it, we can't control. But when we open up our mouth to speak of this or that. It's important to be careful, we don't want eat our hat. :)

Hi April, You are a very good poet and I believe what you say is very true, no one can really tell your future, everyone was put here for a purpose, in both cases you have to play everyday as it comes, there are no short cuts in life you either do it the right way or the wrong way, the two options in life we are given, your philosophy is very good which makes you a very wise person and a person I will always respect. John
