My Brave Foot

adapted from image at http://www.soil-net.com

I put my best foot
forward
it’s OK
I’m OK

I put my best foot, my left foot
forward
it’s OK
I’m OK

I put my best foot, my left foot, my big foot
forward
it’s OK
I’m OK

I put my best foot, my left foot, my big foot, my brave foot
forward
it’s ok
I’m ok

my aching toes protest
as they clutch and drop straw
onto reeking compost
to drain
to aerate
to cleanse and freshen it.

but
it’s ok
I’m ok
