Let me tell you something I’ve realized to be true
If you want to see people at their happiest this is what you should do
Find out about their area of passion
Regarding that subject, initiate a discussion
Watch their faces light up, their voices get animated
As they expound on their subject until they have disseminated
Information so detailed you can barely comprehend
All you should do is a patient ear lend
You may not understand the content but their exuberance you feel
What lights the spark in them, you’ve made them reveal..
*
I fall for the passion in people’s eyes
I have often been taken by surprise
By how indifference transforms into animation
When unwittingly their source of passion is mentioned
Passion changes people and then they
Change the world in a positive way
Passion...unbridled 
I saw a meme once whose author wrote how they loved hearing someone start with, “Okay, SO…”, because it means they are about to launch into something they know a lot about and want to share. I love that, too. 🙂

I got the idea for this poem while our cardiac surgeon was explaining a complex procedure to me that he clearly loves doing and the steps of which I did not understand. It had been a while since I had seen him that animated..

OH I love when that happens! Because then you just want to ask them questions, learn more, and then they get more excited–and before you know it you’re in the middle of a great nerdy love fest!! 😀
