Ode to a Social Worker Part III

Money is not the reason

Nor is self gratification.

Passion is the drive

To see hope in Others’ eyes.

To remind them,

They’re not alone.

Money is not the reason

Nor is self gratification.

Compassion is the drive

To inspire positivity

When negativism captures the mind.

To normalize failure as a teacher,

And change takes time.
