A Special Group Of People from All walks of Life...
For ALL of them, this Path was Chosen.
Whether they are destined from Birth,
Or Raised from the Ashes of Despair.
Their Mission of Compassion is Always the Same.
With Mental Discipline, They Quietly walk
the Lines Between Hope and Caution....
Each "Keeper Of The Door" Holds a Portion
of Opportunity in Their Hands.
Experienced Eyes and Gentle Hearts
Gather and Nurture the Masses..............
Although the Need is Great and the Odds Overwhelming,
They push forward in their Pursuit of Healing the
Hearts and Minds of The Scared and Broken....
The Same Questions are Asked for All Who Enter;
"Are You Willing To Live?"
"Will you give me permission to NEVER Give up on You?"
"Will you Promise to NEVER give up on Yourself?"
If we can find the Courage to say "YES",
Then we are given the Key's to the Door Within...
Some of Us will rise from Nothingness and walk
through this Threshold with Humility and Contrite...
Others Must be Taught to Crawl..........
And Some of Us will return to the Door,
Again and Again, Hoping Still to find it Open,
and Hear that Strong but Gentle Voice of
"The Keeper Of The Door" ask;.....
"Are You Willing To Live?"
