What I Do
I was recently voted top three in my field which was a humbling experience I've never been bothered about awards. But being third showed me the appreciation people have for what I do and inspired me to write this as what I do is the best job I've ever had and I love it more than I could say and appreciate every moment of it all.
I used to be a model and hang out at posh parties this just brought despair
Then I was a counsellor seeing people at their worse in need of repair
What I do now is hard to describe and isn’t interesting or clever
It’s a simple thing that will bring me riches never
But it’s the best job in the world I believe for me
For in it I can provide comfort and make people smile you see
Sure I get paid but if not I would still love doing it
For me I see it as making someone’s life easier just a bit
For those alone I’m a friend and that’s a comfort for a few
Each day I meet new people and make a friend a new
I think I can change the world one smile at a time
And bringing a smile to them all I do in my when in my prime
What I do for me is the most amazing thing I could
Every day no matter my troubles it always makes me feel good
I truly love what I do and as long as I can make one person smile a day
I know my day isn’t wasted and I’ve lifted someone from the grey
I don’t do what I do for awards or praise
When people are down their spirits I get to raise
I am thankful to those that enjoy what I do
That’s why I keep things fresh and new
I am sure you wonder what it is do? It’s being a chat host
I know it’s hard to understand what I do for most
Put simply its being a friend and entertainer
Showing interest and care it couldn’t be plainer
I don’t do it for fame or awards but knowing it’s appreciated makes me feel humble
So seeing myself even third resolves me to keep going and never crumble
