The lines on my palm stand for

All the roads in my life

That had short endings.

Like times when I thought I

Was headed for success, but

It only led to a dead end.

My knuckles represent the

Mountains I had to climb.

The sweat trickling from my hand

Represent the tears I have shed.

The uneven fingertips show that

My life is still not balanced.

The scars and scratches represent

My hurt and pain

The strength of my grip shows

I stood strong through it all

My hands tell my life story....
