I hear the squeak of the chair
as he enters my office—
“Hello,Cutie! Can I have a coffee?”
His smile is infectious!
Some days, he reminisces.
Most days, he is focused on his coffee,
...and sometimes, the person behind it.
Kindness truly is the “universal” language…
and those smiles—both given and received—
the best reward!

One of my tasks at work is to serve coffee to those who ask. We used to have it out for folks to help themselves, but for safety reasons it has to be served now. "Barista" is my new middle name! (Or "Cutie." I'll answer to that too!)
