I Have Always Been a Listener
I am a listener
People know
They come to me
Share their secrets
Trusting me with their fears and burdens
I am honored to keep their confidence
Sure I have a degree
Yes I have special training
But I was trusted
And a careful empathetic listener
Years before any of this training
I do not believe I am any better now
Than I was before, however the training
Means more people find me.
