From our Music Therapy Intern…
Ode to Week 4:
Every day this week
Brought more names and faces
Ones I’ll never forget
And in my heart, will hold special places
We’ve only met once
But I can already see
Spending five months together
Will create lifelong memories
I met each client
And each client met me
And next week we begin
One on one music therapy
I want to give them my best
I want to give them my all
Is my best enough?
Will I hit a wall?
My head is spinning
Yet it feels empty inside
Where do I begin?
What do I have to provide?
Think, think, think
There’s got to be more
I can’t have run out
I must have ideas in store
I just got started
I’ve an entire journey ahead
Sleep on it, pray on it
Maybe I just need to go to bed
I will rest with the knowledge
That I am in good hands
For Jaime and Bekah
Have only good plans
Plans to stretch me
Plans to help me grow
Plans to teach me
Things I don’t know that I don’t know
There comes a divide
In the road towards learning
Where you have to decide
Which way you’re turning
Turn to the road
That is flat as a board
To a journey without risk
And a journey without reward
Turn, instead, to the road
Marked with hills and bends
To a journey filled with challenges
And a journey that transcends
I stand at that fork
Staring down at these two
Knowing full well
Which one I must choose
