Leave your sadness on the doorstep

Leave your sadness on the doorstep, please come in and take a seat,
Take off that coat of pain you wear, then please put up your feet.
It may not be easy for you to leave those bits behind,
Just leave what you can, then let’s see if we can clear your mind.

Let’s see if we can find a way to set your inner self free,
Starting with that traditional cup of coffee or tea.
I know I have some nice treats, I will sort us out a few,
Then you can start to tell me what it is that’s upsetting you

I will sit and listen to any words that you want to say,
Get them all of your chest and I will sweep the bad ones away.
If you want me to speak my thoughts, then give me a little space,
Between us, let’s see if we can bring a smile back to your face.

Please say as much as you want, but you don’t have to tell me all,
Let’s just see if we can get that heavy gloom on you to fall.
Leave any of your emotions discarded here on my floor,
When you go, leave behind your sadness on that step by the door.
