Hands by Matthew A. Hamilton

The cracks in my hands told me
I’d live forever. They told me
that one day I’d be wealthy.
When my hands held you
for the first time I knew
it to be true.

  1. Awww, just beautiful. If you haven’t already, write this in the next card to your significant other, or just leave it in a note under her pillow.

  2. Lovely, the significance made even more powerful by the white space. Well done.

  3. Ah, shucks… that’s a wonderful love story, Matt. Just so lovely. Peace…

  4. BTW, I’m really loving your poems when you post them.
