I do not have a womb or breasts.
I am a man and I care.
I could not bear or nourish a child.
I am a man and I care.
I was refused to be a midwife because
I am a man, yet I care.
I was born of a woman and
I care.
I have family –
a wife, a sister,
daughters and grand daughters –
all women and
I care.
For those of color –
black and tan, red and white –
I care.
For those of transgender, trans sexuality,
I care.
For immigrants, Latinos, Syrian refugees,
legal and illegal aliens,
I care.
For those of All faiths –
Christian, Muslim, Jew
Hindu, Buddhist – and none,
I care.
For those with or without jobs,
with or without homes,
I care.
For the sick and the poor
I care.
For those who are powerful
and those powerless
I care.
I am a man with a heart, and
I care.
