i collect people

i collect people and i am careful whom i choose

they aren’t going in a box or placed on a shelf, they have something that i want, and more often something that i need

now i do not enter likely in the selections that i make, for i am well prepared to give more than i take

has nothing to do with money, assets and the like, and everything to do with character and the way they life their life

the criteria is simple does not involve gender, looks or race, rather simply put they exhibit a certain air of confidence and grace

can only come from one place, a safe and secure heart that allows them to be of service, with whatever hand they are dealt

your clothes may be shabby, your car may be a wreck, you may be homeless and have no roof over your head, but i has seen people that many would classify as bums and they live a life uncluttered and are a burden to no one

because they have few distractions they have an ability to see, the things that mean the most, and all of them are free

so you may never know that you have been inducted in this class, but i respect you well enough to pay attention when you speak
