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!
