Destiny's Child

 


For the Sunday muse 



 

 

The lines of your palm

Are laced with napalm

You will keep searching for calm

Yet your hands will keep you warm

From a world full of harm.

 

Your path you walk is only yours

Your umbrella cannot protect you

From the puddles underneath

You will weather the wet &

Become a bonafide vet.

 

You will survive,

You are destiny’s child

The roads you walk will

Always be the ones not taken

Not out of sheer rebelery

But an innate sense of revelry

So child!

Don’t rely on fate,

Your destiny is in your hands.


is what I would want my palm reader to say xD

  5. Wisdom all around. Like Rosemary said, this is excellent advice. We should always remember that to move forward, we must work to move.

  7. I love the turn on the phrase “you are destiny’s child” to resolve with the tried and ever powerfully true —“Your destiny is in your hands”, directly calling forth the image. Well written! 🙂✌🏼❤️
