and change his wife’s life.

and create a “What is a Grandparent” model.

and make an old man weep.
I dance, top down, music up
and bring smiles to weary travelers.

and remind her of a brush with greatness.
I edit a colleague’s cultural rebuttal
and give her courage to share her voice.
I argue, gently, with my daughter
and uplift and inspire others who suffer.

and make them see what they’ve been blind to.

and invite others to relish the Spirit.

and let them say “WOW! I did THAT!?!?!”

with eyes
others haven’t yet opened
and give them strength
and insight
and courage
and power
to change the world.
