inscribed on the palms of my hand
words more than of comfort, that he would remember us
He said he had inscribed our beings, not just our names
ourselves on the palms, the living flesh of the creator
to assure us, he would remember, our lives part of him
living with him, moving with him, more than the words
on the tablets, his love written in the creation
More even than the written within us, on our hearts
we are written on the palms of God’s hands
the hands that make the world,
the hands that molded each one
that set the world to spinning
A promise more real than the bow in the sky
to remind him of another time
when God remembered, forgave
showed compassion on man
this time, inscribed on his palms

More than My Name
on the palms of the creator
the God of Abraham, of creation,
the Father to the Son, sent to save me
My being, my all,
written into the flesh
of my God
Not merely my name,
I am inscribed
on the palms of his hands

Inscribed on His Palms
always remember me,
to be compassionate, forgiving, loving
my name, inscribed on his palms
words that cannot be washed away
forever a part of my maker
by his promise to all the people

More than Written
onto the palms of our creator
the God of the beginning of time
my name forever with him,
not merely written, inscribed
marking me on, into his flesh
and the palms of his hand

My Name
holding me on the skin of the creator
a part of him, the ink staining his flesh
the stuff of heaven, a part of me,
my name, the clay on the potter’s hands
remembered each time, he touches his hands
looks at his hands, a part of him

On His Hand
on the creator’s hand
tattooed permanently,
his memory never fades
he keeps me, holds me,
in the palm of his hand
protecting me, always
