Ubizo-what you are called to do

Ngokungazi, kade u- building a craft
Long before wawu- with the know-how to name it

That ikhono for mending, that ukuthambekela toward making —
Ku- your ubizo, your umsebenzi wobungcweti, your calling.

Your umsebenzi wezandla is being shaped in quiet hours.
Through ukuqina and indlela, ngibe gathering ulwazi.

The umsebenzi was never just work.
Ngi- not here by accident.
Be- meant to yiba yinyanga of this.

So yiba patient with the process.
What you are being called to ku- sacred:
Ubizo — umsebenzi only your hands ba- able to do.
