The ones that come into your life

with a golden heart
and a complex mind which
simultaneously
muses about the meanings and tragedies of life and
loves National Treasure

The ones that come into your life
with bright eyes
and a searching soul
wanting to know this world
and believe in this world

The ones that teach you
to slow down
and breathe
and listen.

The ones that give you
a little more hope
That change can happen
That growth can happen
That love can happen

Those are the good ones.

“Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.” - Fred Rogers
