Careless Master

I never cut my right hand

it's the one that holds the knife

I always nick the left one

it's been that way all my life.


My left hand is the helper

it holds things like a vice.

My right is a careless master

it's helper it will often slice.


When we carelessly cause pain

a friendship we can sever

We better find a way to say sorry,

express love and sound clever.

i like the photo, too. it does remind me a little of mine from today.

your word selection is clever and it sort of rolls of my lips as i read the poem.
