You helped me from the very start <br />I was discouraged and sad <br />But through the years with all your help <br />Now my life is not so bad. <br /> <br />I have made it through many scary things <br />And you were there to lend an ear <br />Helping me with suggestions that I took <br />Which alleviated my fear. <br /> <br />It’s tough to say all I want to say <br />In conveying how much you’ve meant to me <br />Most of all I’ve learned from you <br />How to live my life joyously and free. <br /> <br />Free from sorrow and worry <br />Free from hurts and pain <br />You taught me I could be strong <br />Courage I did gain. <br /> <br />You helped me let go of the past <br />So I can live well today <br />You showed me I am worthwhile <br />And being me is okay. <br /> <br />Taught me to change my thinking <br />And no longer put myself down <br />I have left hurtful people <br />Desiring nice ones around. <br /> <br />I have learned to stand on my own <br />To be all that I can be <br />This is what you helped me to do <br />Now I can be the real me. <br /> <br />It is so hard to say good-bye <br />To such a caring person like you <br />But you are wished the very best <br />For all your good dreams to all come true.<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saying-good-bye-to-my-therapist/
