What good is a toe
Like so much else in our lives
It’s beauty and beast
Nothing can compare
To the comfort you will feel
Of a foot massage
Also what hurts more
And forever it seems than
Stubbing your big toe
A ballerina
On pointe is just exquisite
For us; not for her
After a long hike
Dipping your toes in water
Rejuvenates you
Your toes not only
Balance body and spirit
They drive you forward
Toes are important
But they are not life itself
They aide but don’t rule
Without your toes you
May feel hinky but you’re not
Find another path
You many think that you
Are no longer beautiful
But that’s just not true
Lost toes are just that
Nothing more just like many
Other challenges
When faced with any
Mobility or speaking
Issues find new paths
Recognize affirm
Talents and contributions
There’s an abundance
This is why it’s said
That you’re differently abled
Valued to us all
Act with genuine
Concern for others share your
Willingness to shine
Others will be less
Prone to marginalize you
If you value them
Be willing to share
Offer a helping hand to
Those who have a need
Be an ally and
Others will be an ally
Reciprocally
Stand up advocate
Carry your fellow humans
If that’s what’s needed
Don’t let the chance pass
To save a life when needed
Take the right measure
Carry them speak for
Them tow them along in your
Arms and your spirit
