The Therapist's Goodbye<br />
Broken hearts and broken lives<br />
Tears <strong>of</strong> shame and lost goodbyes<br />
Are they yours or are they mine?<br />
Woven together over time<br />
The mosaic blends and breaks and shines<br />
you gave me more than I gave you<br />
Your stories sacred birds that flew<br />
Together we gave them wings - when not<br />
I pray we both learned something new.<br />
When it began I was broken too<br />
You healed me as much as I healed you.<br />
Janna Traeger, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo<br />
Underprivileged, poor, and weak, They feel their future is so bleak.<br />
We social workers give them a helping hand, Taking on problems both little and grand.<br />
I promise you, you can have my trust, We will mend the problems in a world so unjust.<br />
I will give you my best and give you my all, If we both see it through we will not fall.<br />
I only want to see you succeed, I’ll do what I can to meet your need.<br />
Although I know I can’t fix it all, I promise you I will be t<strong>here</strong> when you call.<br />
Barbara Madson, The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
Mending<br />
She's been doing the mending, darning the holes<br />
Left by the wear <strong>of</strong> generations before<br />
Patiently threading the needle each day<br />
Hoping the vision will not go away<br />
While she's doing the mending, patching the souls<br />
Of the people she knew in the lives gone before
