“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he
treats those who can do nothing for him.”
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe

Who do I see each day
I look at many people
But who do I see?
It seems so simple really
to really notice another
after all
they are right there in front of me
but do I see the fear
the hurt
the pain
do I understand the questions
the doubt?
and how do I respond
not toward those who approval I want, or need
not toward those who are affluent or powerful
but to that person who is just there
just there
being who they are
being tired and depleted?
Do I stop
focus
listen
to I act in a caring way?
do they feel as if I care?
I wonder
I truly
wonder
