A Job - The Structure of Free Verse

A Job

Sometimes a job
turns into a life long
career.
I didn’t plan it.
I just sort of grew
in to it.

A job to pay
for college
but I never
went back to school.
Met my man and married.

A job to pay
for nine years
of horses and clothes
until I became a mother.

A part time job
to help pay
bills and still be home
to raise my child.

A job to support
my family
took a giant leap
believing
in my own determination
and expertise.

A job transitions
to a career,
empoying others
serving clients
and my community.

A job is what you
make of it,
a chore
or opportunity.

"The Structure of Free Verse"  

Fifty eight years
in the insurance industry
has given me
independence,
financial stability,
opportunities to help others,
freedom to pusue my passions,
and many good friends.
