An Overdue Thank You

Dear Legs,

I want to say thank you.

For all you do.

You keep me standing.

You carry me forward.

You are a part of my whole.

I don't know why you hurt.

I can't fix it.

I can't change it, or help it.

But I can appreciate you more.

All the work you do for me.

Especially when I'm not aware that you're working.

I can work to say nicer things about you.

Although not verbalized, they are hurtful.

And many times not true.

I can work to appreciate your awesome imperfection.

So thank you.

Love, Me
