Social Worker - PS

Some say I’m a mean girl, but that’s not true
I put on a facade when my heart’s feeling blue
I enjoy camaraderie, conversation and silly fun 
And will be there for others until my life is done

I enjoy feeling the sunny rays warming my face
And being home in my garden, my peaceful place
I enjoy watching and feeding birds and hearing their song
And dreaming of Spring birds, and winter to be gone

I love to cultivate flowers and plants in the Spring
And enjoy Reading outside and the peace it brings
A favorite past time are my walks with my dog
They clear my head of any stress and brain fog
 
I adore my friends and will always lend them a hand
Defend and honor their beliefs and with them I stand
Social work has been my lifelong dedicated career
And know making a difference is a gift I hold dear

Family is important to me, and I love all of mine
And enjoy holiday gatherings and treasure spending time
If you still think I’m a mean girl you, then you really don’t know
How beautiful my heart is and it's kindness I like to bestow

At first, I thought you worked in the tax office, and that can evoke a bit of wrath. Social workers rock.

Dear Tania, What a heartfelt testament to the depth and warmth of your spirit. Through your words, you portray someone who finds peace in simple joys, cherishes relationships, and dedicates their life to making a difference. The juxtaposition of societal perceptions with the reality of your compassionate heart is both striking and powerful. Your authenticity and the beauty of your soul bursts forth through your amazing poetry. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Tania, whoever thinks you are a mean person, must begin by looking at themselves in a mirror. Perhaps it's pure jealousy. Hugs.

"Social work has been my lifelong dedicated career And know making a difference is a gift I hold dear". I too believe in this. Self assessment is the best assessment. If we are convinced about our own strong points, it is enough ! We cannot always make others see what we are. Many may misunderstand us and fail to see our goodness. It is humanly impossible to satisfy all. This misunderstanding has been there from the beginning of human history.... ! So please see public opinion as inconsequential. A great poem Tania !
