Ode to my Mottled Left Paw

You make me smile
Simply because
I have no expectations of you
to make ME feel special

Ode To my mottled left paw
You are the “behind the scenes”
The “grunt worker”
The “holder of easels”

Ode To my mottled left paw
Struggling to always work  
While listening to praise
that only the drawing right paw receives.

Ode To my mottled left paw
I am so sorry that I didn’t protect you
Boiling water needs respect

Ode To my mottled left paw
I shall take better care of you
I promise.
