homeless brother
Location
i walk in to work
always acknowledge my colleagues with the usual good mornings in continuation of creating a peaceful environment that embraces cultural competence
my homeboy drop the 411 about a young man who is homeless
my lady always told me that if it's in your heart to do something, do it with no outside influences
it is and was in my heart to provide the brother with nutrients to not only satisfy his hunger, but uplift his spirits in believing that there are people who genuinely care
i did what any real man would do
introduce myself and connect to someone i never knew in building bridges that was already shattered
just saying hello made such a big difference to this young brother
along with me injecting hope to his cold body overcoming gusty winds that was blowing in all directions
i gave this brother, a bottle of water, a granola bar, an apple, an orange, and two chips
when he said thank you
that was all i needed to hear in confirming that there are people who appreciates the small intangibles
it's easy for people to complain
you might be going through something tough
remind yourself that there is always someone going through something much more worse
and if you think i'm lying
go ask that young brother
