Inspiring Poem for Social Workers







To mark over two months of blogging and two hundred views I thought I would show you a poem that I found online which demonstrates that sometimes all it takes is a smile to let you know you are making a difference!


And Then There was a Smile
Written by Laurie Eytel, CVA


A parent came with a burden to bear
They came looking for guidance
And perhaps a kind word


You saw their challenge
And decided to help
Your caring voice opened a door


A child came in looking quite sad
And then another, with defiance
And you welcomed them all


They all came with stories
Which were all unique
You offered your help - and you listened


You may have provided a meal
You may have provided gifts
You may have provided guidance

You may have worked behind the scenes
But slowly a change came about
The mood seemed lighter

And then there was a smile,
Maybe first from you
Then maybe from a child, a parent


It made all the difference to those you touched, the child, the parent looked to you and then there was a smile!


Thank you for the smiles you provide!
