No Task In Speed

Thinking that the ease of walking around is all that is done, With flirting, chatting, and looking important in their eye, Ready to start they have ranging expectations in the mind. Better pay and nothing to do, what a role to have and do, Quickly found that distance traveled was more then thought. Quickly found that it was not as easy as others had bought. Dirtier work and harder a fear began to grow within one. Speed the only way to handle the changes though oh so wrong. Speed holds only danger in travels, to more then one. Speed produced a burn upon the first week of duty. Speed brought down review standards now him so distraught. Mentioning in evaluation the danger he would bring about. Brought out anger and paranoia that his mind did play, Each new day he is reminded that his new job is different. Every way he will learn the respect of each new day. Not a clue he had that in this new job he had responsibility. Thought all was play and easy, from older peoples ways. I do not think he will ever know the role he holds in work. Still raging in speed, he still has not learned any respect. Will he make the grade or will he be cause of a danger. Will the next assessment, enrage his paranoia more. Taking the toll of his demise before someone pays a price.

Oh, dear, Cecil! I hope he learns to put other people's safety first. As you say, he is new at his job, but he has a responsibililty. I pray he doesn't call "someone (to) pay a price" for his carelessness. Very important message in this well written write, Cecil! God bless you, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
