A study in service industry empathy

By Adam HoffmanPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I’ll take a pint size Jamo

With a eighteen year old

Knows everything

I know nothing

Pour

With a dose of empathy in

With a dose of compassion

That is your natural territory

Not assumed

But so welcome

A kind ear

A kind voice

A micro karmic act

To get one through

Those that don’t know

The power of you

Are those undeserving

But I know

And have known

And will always know

A family is not necessarily blood

But a familiar bond

That one can derive strength from

Either you to us

Or us to you

Small tolerances of our stumblings

You are there

Is it the best path

Perhaps not the libations

But certainly the company
