Thank you for who you are to me

           written for the one helping me to heal:

                 good poem for a therapist

You have brought to me a priceless treasure
in the person of who you are
You came into my darkness
and  illuminated my world like a  star
So now I can begin seeing all the things
that were always causing me to fall
And I can begin healing  every hurt
I have known since I was very  small

Thank you for caring enough to help me:
for going beyond that extra mile
For patiently working with me
even when tears were more present than a smile
Thank you for telling me those things
that I may not have wanted to hear
But needed, nonetheless,
so that the path we were taking  was always clear.
