What I want to be
I have a motivation
A motivation to succeed
I will work just as my parents before me
Just as they have planted the seed
A job making people feel better
A job with kindness, and empathy
Just as I would want for my family
Working with adults and children, respectfully
My dream is to help those who can’t
Especially those not able to speak
Those not able to say vowels or consonants
Does not make them weak
A job to help a father say to his daughter
“I love you.” With all of his heart
After having trouble for months
Is a job that I want to start
No matter the pay, or stress,
The hardships or labor
To help someone is a gift
They can even be your neighbor
The road will be hard
I say this warily
No other job is like this
That’s why I want to be in Speech Therapy
