Lest you think

I don't know if most therapists keep treasure troves. I do know it is something I learned from mine. I do know it matters.

Lest you think

I don’t see:

I do.

But then

I figure you

Do know

I see.

You are the reason

I keep everything

Given to me

In my office

On display:

The orange peel angel

It hangs

On my desk lamp,

The carefully wrapped

Glass icicle

On my shelf,

With the rainbow

Bookmark;

The black dog card

On my desk;

The stone container

With a lid.

It reminds me

I can take the lid off

Anytime

I wish.
