Yesterday I met,
A barber who is reinventing
The way he works
To include, support and open up his shop
To other companions of trade
A stylist who delights in
Seeing women grow in confidence
As she selects their clothes and colors
A woman who feels in place
When she listens to people
Open their dreams and forgotten tears
They simply want to share
What they have inside
In their own words, telling me
Let’s care
It felt simple, joyful and genuine
In a pragmatic, to the point, no nonsense
Kind of way
So,
If you want to … and aren’t quite sure how
Remember, right now
It just needs to make sense to you
It will bring meaning to others later
Your little sprouting idea
Might just care for friends, neighbors
And the world
