Conference Time For Me

The conference starts at 8

and I don't want to be late.

It is free, the drive is not great

my car doesn't take much gas mate

~

Once a week I run group in the heat we swelter

at a mental health crisis shelter.

Many come in with depression

anxiety, panic in most every session

~

Other diagnoses are common

I work with the trauma problem

and grief and loss are there.

I'm getting too old for this here.

~

It is time to replace me

the agency is not cooperating you see.

I am finding my own replacement.

Stop working? No, cause then I will need a placement.

~

I enjoy the work, but it is time for a change.

I am not getting there, time to rearrange

my weeks, no more weekly commitment.

Once I was there, but it won't be treatment.

It is rewarding yes, but time for a change.

~

So I will catch up on the newest

and the latest

there may be new solutions

to old problems will be the conclusions

~

I could find solutions here.

I always think that there

is trauma and grief work everywhere.

That is what helps them elsewhere.

~

I used to think everyone

working with my people

had a trauma worker, at least one

mental health professional

~

Time to hit the road as I'm hoping

I will be there in one hour

and 20, then smell a certain flower.

Well smudge, but that is not rhyming.
