Beautiful Wrinkles

 

I contemplate the wrinkles on my hands

And they remind me of well-worn road maps

Of road trips and beyond

Adventures, fun and some mishaps

The fifty states and the Caribbean

Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Scotland

And I think that perhaps

Of my beautiful wrinkles, I’m becoming fond.
