Woman Who Listened

She was a woman who listened.
She had those Bambi-interested eyes.
People gravitated to her as if she was chocolate.

Many strangers confided in her
Telling her secrets they would not have told their mothers
She kept their confidence, becoming a one time friend

A woman on an airplane
A woman on a bar stool
A woman who listened

Sounds familiar. I think I know this woman. Yes, I do know her! Wait until I tell you about my last session with my counselor. It was a trip!!! I need to find a new counselor. (Soup Mail)
