Hand To Hold

I need a hand to hold.

One that's strong

And fills the holes in between,

Although who can judge a hand

When I must judge the person

It belongs to.

Is it a Princes' hand?

Soft and experienced,

One that won't stay too long.

Is it a Fools hand?

Small and nervous

One with a heart you must break.

Is it a Jokers hand?

Unpredicable and immature,

A barrel of laughs too busy.

Or is it a Knights hand?

Caring and shy,

Always there to save my day.

The Prince, the Fool, the Joker or the Knight.

Perhaps the Crown is unexpectedly committed,

The Fool with a heart of gold,

The Joker who knows when to be serious

Or the Knight who is self conceited.

It is not the hand I must judge,

Or even the first glance.

It is the heart

The soul inside the shell

That must be judged...

That must be the hand I need to hold.
