I Love My Left Hand

It's nothing sinister, you understand,

but I'm very attached to my left hand

though it sometimes writes what I hadn't planned!

I pick up a pen and then

a line or two comes through

and on I go – you know?

Being a 'leftie' seems a special gift,

a creative tool which I can shift

to write or paint, and that will lift

my spirits high – and then I fly

through dreams and scenes.

It's part of me. It sets me free.

This miracle of bones and skin,

of tendons, nerves, and blood within,

its dextrous skill can make me grin.

From its fingertips to how it grips

are the working parts for creative arts.

So thank you, Lord – I'm never bored.
