Take My Mind To A Quiet Place
About this poem
I worked for hospice, and used this as a meditation to prepare me for the people and stories and tears I would hold in my heart every day. It hung above my desk for several years and still is there with my successor. I share it with friends going thru cancer treatments and other crises.
