To Care for All Abilities

 

by: George Waldrop

 

I need freedom to learn

other people’s expectations are none of my concern

I love to watch individuals achieve basic needs

Each day I come to work is a learning experience.

when we imagine

ourselves in the place of someone else

it is the epitome of empathy

I will learn

it will be hard

I will be vulnerable

I will grow

there will be times of uncertainty

I will talk, ask questions

I will listen

give of myself

stick it out

do my best 

share the work load

brave the next shift

welcome a new staff

being a part of a team

asking them about their dreams

again, freedom to learn

I am only in control of myself

every, thought, word and action

communication is key

living up to myself

loving myself enough

being enough

to harness and muster

all my love

to care for all abilities

open-up and let it in

to have a friend is to be a friend

immaculate goodness

like my hero

Fred Rogers
