Counselling - The next leg

Sorry kids, I won't be around at bedtime tonight
but it's because...

  (lean in, look around and in hushed tones)
... I'm embarking on the next leg of my perilous voyage across high seas
of emotion and uncertainty
towards shores of shalom where the greatest riches can be
found for those brave enough
for those who dare to open up
and search for treasures untold
more precious than rubies and gold
Gems of wisdom and peace of mind
jewels of hope and truth I'll find.

I am an intrepid adventurer,
well, maybe I'm a little nervous
But take courageous my heart

I don't just do it for myself, in part
I do it for you
Because, maybe my freedom will be your freedom too
My peace your peace.

Anyway, I'm trail blazing, I'm leading the way
so, if you ever find yourself on a rocky path like this,
Or maybe looking over a cliff or some precipice
I'll have a map maybe?
I might be able to help you navigate your pain and your sorrows
and introduce you to The Guide
The One,
The One who held me and walked with me,
staff and rod comforting me
By then your old Mum will be an experienced traveller
Heart forever set on pilgrimage

So, I'm off
on the next leg of my perilous voyage!
I'll see you on the other side!
