More Than Just a Job


A job is not simply an occupation,

For the name makes it seem so obligatory and mundane.

There is not better job for the 90,360 hour duration

No matter how much more money I could attain.

The joy of seeing patients recover and grow

Could not be replaced with loads of possessions,

For the service provided is more and one can know:

The growth is more than physical at each session.

Patients gain confidence and physical ability

And the therapist supports their hard work and determination

With encouragement and belief in their capabilities.

This job is not simply an occupation,

It is an investment in patients’ health and happiness.
