This is the job I have always wanted to do -Poem by Betty Makoni
Making a public commitment for my job
I wrote this poem to reconfirm within my heart that there is nothing as fulfilling in my life as working for empowerment of girls.I love doing this work.Each time I support a girl I feel spiritually nourished. I feel happy . I feel joy. I love working for girls. No matter what challenge I meet whilst on mission to save and serve girls, I will not be separated from this job. No matter what someone says to whoever ,my job is my life and I look after it as much as I look after my life .I will keep my job for girls.That`s the job I was born doing. That`s the job I live all my life doing. That`s the job I will die doing. This is the job I have always wanted to do.
THIS IS THE JOB I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO
Here I am and here is the job
The job I have always wanted to do
To do with all passion and compassion
Combat feeling that I am totally there
There on the job I have always wanted to do
No coercision, persuasion, manipulation
No job description, no job specification
Specific though to support empowerment of girls
Girls empowered, future women reach potential
Potential to hover, conquer
Soldier on, Struggle on
Not for the love of money but for the love of girls
Groomed empowered girls fruits of my labour
I toil and labour just upon a glimpse of my girls
This is addiction, no watch whatsoever on my wrist
No need, no need for all time is work time
No amount of cash can pay for this
Not even silver, gold, diamond
This job I have always wanted to do
The inner part of my passion, so gracious, goodness
The job I have always wanted to do
Trials and tribulations, ups and downs
Bygones for they are to test mantle
Persecutions known deeds of thy times
Spirit, soul, servitude, sanity so on and so forth
Sailed so smoothly fruits of thy labour
No interview to demonstrate
Either commitment or competence
Inner interview ,confirmed thus
Called one self for it and now stuck to it
Promised inner self I would do it
Here then I am now
Right on the job of my life, love and passion
Like river love for it flows on and on and on
No amount of stress will burn this passion out
Its deeper, inner, greater, bigger, stronger and so forth
I live it, feel it, eat it , sit it, fight it, look it, tumble it
Sleep with it, greet it, dance it, and work it
This is the job I have always wanted to do
When they spoil the broath, when they do vice versa
I bleed with grief, I feel loss, death of my passion
I become crazy, fallen apart
Cracked, crushed, crooked, cheated, deceived, finished
When they do it good, I rejoin, remake, resmile, revitalize
More strength, more power, more vision
For I refuse with my job
The job I have always wanted to do
My job, my passion, my spirit, my soul, me my self
One system, one blood
One me, my job, I dream it, I walk the talk, I feel, it love it
Nwa-a I kiss it!!
Here is the job I like to do
This is the job I have always wanted to do
