I haven't always loved these legs

These legs have stood frozen in embarrassment

They have trembled with fear

They've jiggled too much had wonky shaped knees

My legs have stomped upon friendships in moments of anger

They've take me places I didn't want to be

Walked me in circles of confusion again and again

These legs walked me down the aisle blindly disconnected

I haven't always loved these legs

These legs crashed to their knees in grief for me

I found compassion for these legs

Forgiveness for these legs while understanding

It was me who should require their forgiveness

These sweet beautiful legs were always doing the best they could for me

Kindness to these legs, nourishment 

Love for these legs

These legs began to strengthen

Between these legs birthed a daughter

I loved them even more fiercely

These legs grew so strong with that love

Through nurturing they learned to walk softly and swiftly

To stand strong with confidence

These legs learned to walk NO run away from things not meant for me

They've jumped for joy at the connection we've found

These legs happily skip us in the direction of our dreams

I use these strong legs to hold up my daughter

May she always love her legs
