A Job

What is a job? Is it a cumbersome load that fills nine to five Hours of six days per week? Is it a place you hate But, tolerate Because it keeps your bills paid? Or is it more? Like, for example, An opportunity To learn about responsibility. A chance to, for once, EARN something. A ticket to success- A ride off the fast track to nowhere. A job can give you the chance to make a difference, To enable change, And better yourself. I want a career that betters myself And helps to better others. Therapy maybe? A job can be the path of purpose in your life A reason to get out of bed. Someone somewhere said "Let me but do my work from day to day" A craving we all hunger The satisfaction of a job well done. And if you have performed your job well Then, what you've earned is knowledge learned And a battle that was won. A job teaches you a valuable lesson: In this life there's nothing free What you earn is what you keep. What you reap is what you sow What you sow is what you reap.
