Reminiscing

What a wonderful idea,
That came to fruition.
Part of our tuition,
At CCPE,
Was to work there.
If we wanted.
A rare place,
Never a dull case,
At ‘The Caravan’.

I wanted to work there.
I just ‘knew’ I did.
And I loved it.
I loved my visitors;
My clients, my friends.
Boundaries, yes.
But I cared.
Each a fellow human being,
And I was seeing,
How they experienced life.
Their strife.

I listened.
That was a lot.
I wanted to do more,
Before they went out the door.
But I did my part,
As much as I could.
I was there with heart,
And they would,
Take what they took.
I’d write in the black book.
They gave a lot to me too!
