Compassionate Counselor

Written for Writer's Island Prompt #11: Tribute

You listen,

but so much more.

You hear

without judgement.

You're open,

you care.

To the weak

you give strength.

To the frightened

you give courage.

To the lost

you give a compass..

You don't give pills

to mask the pain.

You don't dictate

the path to take.

You do not judge...

you counsel.

You are a therapist

because you care.
