Our Chris asked us to share this Poem with you.
Why are we here?
We are here to listen ...
...Not to work miracles
...Not to work miracles
We are here to help you discover what you are
feeling ...
...Not to make things go away
...Not to make things go away
We are here to help you identify your options ...
...Not to decide which option you should take
...Not to decide which option you should take
We are here to discuss steps with you ...
...Not to take those steps for you
...Not to take those steps for you
We are here to help you discover your own strengths
...
...Not to rescue you and leave you still vulnerable
...Not to rescue you and leave you still vulnerable
We are here to help you discover that you can help
yourself ...
...Not to take responsibility for you
...Not to take responsibility for you
We are here to help you choose ...
...Not to make to make choices for you
...Not to make to make choices for you
We are here to support your changes, and to help
you make those changes
