A PALM FILLED WITH PRAYERS

My palms are filled with the injuries from yesterday,

And the memories of a lost song,

Triggered by the story of many lost battles

But in those same palms …

Is a home that has witnessed the secrets of praise and prayers

In those same palms, lies the truth,

Of the ageless journey inspired by our Lord,

And though my palms are injured,

They are also blessed with answers
