Ode to my feet

Hello, my dear, dear left foot

And gracious you, the one on the right
Know that all is good
And that I would like you
To be better understood
Sensing what you feel
So I can heal
Listening to what you have to tell
To release myself from the spell
As you take me on journeys
You bring me everywhere I need to go
So please show
Me what you feel for real
So that I can take better care
As we are a pair
Ready to tango
With love and peacefulness
Creating a loving connecting presence
As together we embark on our next step
On our way to bridging the gap
Between you my feet
And the rest of our fleet
