They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.
.
It started in the forest and then it spread-
No one could have know what was up ahead.
.
The brave firefighters and the volunteers worked
so hard-
Trying to put out that fire, trying to stay on guard.
.
For weeks the fire raged, and did not stall-
Taking down complete homes and the trees
that were so tall.
.
Mother Nature had dealt a bad hand-
Striking much and many all throughout
the land.
.
And, then came the day when it was finally
put out-
With tired working souls, and many homeless
without a doubt.
.
They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.

Every Wednesday, for over twenty years-
A generous gesture has been done, resulting in happiness and tears.

For in Hartford’s Bushnell Park, Barber Anthony Cynerys, sets up a chair-
And cuts hair, with a price that is more than fair.

A simple hug is all that is required for longtime clients, those down on their
luck. or happen to be homeless-
Joe the Barber, is one fine soul, would be everyone’s guess.

At 82 years old, he is giving what he knows how to do best-
Sharing his talent, to many a fortunate invited guest.

By feeding them, you attract
them to your trees.
