Successful men and women.
They are in their September years,
Confident and proud,
Clear eyed, with something to share.
Carrying little luggage,
Engaged in a most singular act,
(Granted many here seek peers),
They continue to lift Sisyphean loads.
Some come to praise and learn,
Others demand money.
Please listen to the man
He is your last best hope.
Is there empathy or sympathy to be found?
How much will honesty be compromised?
Can the seeker bear your assessment?
What words will help and not cause damage?
Counselors are short-lived creatures
Assisting a few.
When the door closes
Clients are beyond reach.
