Oh the people I have met. . .

I wrote this a few months ago... but I continue to get involved in group work, and it continues to apply to my life...

A conversation like no other
One among a series
Open minds and open hearts
Sharing all our theories

Topics come from everywhere
And on the “list” they go
It’s nice to find new souls like this
The kind that help me grow

Then sitting in a classroom
Limits nowhere to be seen
Simply challenges and opportunity
With support on which to lean

The energy doesn’t faze me
As I search within deep eyes
I understand the Pain and Triumph
What I found was no surprise

Now the excitement stirs within me
Nervous and afraid
Feelings so very powerful
It would hurt to let them fade

Everyday has been a lesson
Though no facts are carved in stone
And the speed at which my perceptions change
Chills me to the bone

As I learn that I do not know
It turns out I know even less
And this is what surprises me
And is the fact that I must stress

All I know- Is that THIS is right
…This path on which I walk
For a fire burns within me
Every time we talk

I am so deeply thankful
If only they could see…
The appreciation I have gained
As they share their lives with me
