Three Legged TrayThree legged Tray was out for the day
As content to skip on three
just as much as four
He arrived on this earth during birth
without his fourth paw,
Vet,said better for him
to get around with three
Tray knows not of a world of four
as for him three has served him well enough,
Three,well, is plenty good
His innocent ignorance,it gives him bliss, he has no pleading for other,no regrets
no if I had another leg ,another paw,then
dog paradise would be mine now ,on earth
Tray knows his paradise is
right now
on his three
just the way it is
I met Tray as I took a short walk yesterday, Tray was born without his fourth paw, so at birth the vet thought it would be easier to remove the fourth leg to get around, so he only knows how to live his life fully and content on his 3 legs. Tray has some consistant practice of a life well lived and appreciated. Dogs often get the simplest,deepest aspects of life so much more clearly than us.
This is a lovely post Emma! It reminds us to be thankful for the simple, small joys in life
