Supporting Others Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being here for friends, doing my best to support them
no matter what they're going through.

At times teaching, sometimes learning from them, always
curious and taking time to do whatever is needed.

Be it actively assisting or sitting quietly, just BEing
with them.

Conversation being guided by their thoughts, letting it
go in directions they are headed into.

Ideas flowing, comments at times being given, letting
the other person guide and lead every step of the way.

In this manner finding out what is on their minds and
what they wish to talk about.
