Perception 19/11/08

The first Wednesday we met I still remember However I didn’t think I’d be seeing you in December In my traumatic time of need We built a rapport made out of a trusty seed From very early on I felt I could rely on you To carefully help me discover my life path a new I have a vision of you clicking your figures Etched in my memory which still lingers Even though at times I seemed shy Your perseverance made me want to try At times when I felt like I wanted to give up Your words of wisdom somehow lifted me back up You reminded me life was all about choice To be assertive and to find my voice So many times I feared coming through your door But your non judgemental empathetic look kept me coming back for more When you let me know you were to leave I picked up my workload even more determined to achieve When I felt like no one understood me It was your perceptive finesse I could count on to see To no longer have the lend of your ear I’m unsure of how my ship I will steer Psychologists I’ve certainly seem my share To find another like you I’m not sure where To face the New Year without my confidant Leaves me with scary thoughts they sure do haunt Salty tears flow from my true eyes At the thought of saying my goodbyes I’m so terrified to attempt to fly alone I doubt my ability to achieve on my own A wise one once said These words keep ringing in my head There is just one constant in life and that is change But without your guidance I sense my life will feel strange "A dedication to J"
