to the people who care

you are makers of space,

creators of time

you are wielders,

givers of these.


you are bouncer, door man, gatekeeper

to all that is beyond

the life lived shallow


you offer more

texture,

substance to

the life lived carelessly.

carefully,

you choose

the life lived fully


in your care you

invite

a new way of being


in your care you

create

a new way of being


in your care you

permit a new way of being


and I didn’t think I was waiting for anybody to give me permission,

but now that I have it,

now that I have it,

I have the space

the time


show up

step up

lean in

action words

I am a verb

motion

energy


with care

the space is made

as is a bed.

with care

potential

possibility

tucked in.

with care time is made

as is a dinner.

delicious

filling


the act of sitting down to a meal together

no distractions

just you

just me.


with care

pick up a fork

eat

I am a verb

talk

look

see

allow

listen

laugh

do


do all these things and more

and care
