Humble Thimble
I'm just a thimble
a humble tool
but I'm useful
a tailor's shield
among colourful threads
and shiny needles
I'm unpretentious
not pretty with patterns
but as a guardian
I'm strong and resilient
guarding your fingertips
against painful pricks.

You do triple work: protecting from "pricks", preventing callousness, and easing the tailor's mind allowing a quicker pace.
Your poem made me smile.

It’s interesting how even the tiniest things can mean so much.
Liked the brevity of this that delivers a lot.
