A bit of sentimental silliness

Right arm

You are long
You are strong
You are my right arm, right arm

Tickling baby's backs as they fall asleep
Reaching the unreachable on high shelves
Cradling the left arm after surgery

You are my right arm

Now you have made a sacrifice for me
You have a line piercing your underbelly
Running up up up around the shoulder
Yet I am not to favor you at all
I am to treat you like nothing has changed

Right arm

I am sorry that this happened to you
Thank you for what you are doing for me
You will always be my right arm, right arm

  4. Fantastic. It sounds like a good ol' dependable arm. That's the kind of arm I'd like to have on my side.

    1. We will create a platoon of right arms to step up for you Heather. So many of my prayers and wishes have been that we could trade places. But, since wishes and prayers are best backed up by science and action, I will be here to help - admiring your bravery and strength while trying to be helpful. Love you, your right arm, and your beautiful family to the moon and back.
