I get to work

I’ve got to go to work everyday

I’ve got to face challenges along the way

I’ve got to listen to my patients’ concerns

Their confidence in my abilities, I’ve got to earn

New skills in my field of practice I’ve got to learn

Sometimes the midnight oil I’ve got to burn

When my profession demands sacrificing sleep

I’ve got to do it, I’ve got commitments to keep..

Sounds like a lot I’ve got to do

The pressure is weighing me down, it’s true..

*

As an exercise, let me some words replace

And my work responsibilities let me thus rephrase..

I get to go to work every day

I get to face challenges along the way

I get to listen to my patients’ concerns

Their confidence in my abilities I get to earn

New skills in my field of practice I get to learn

Sometimes the midnight oil I get to burn

When my profession demands sacrificing sleep

I get to do it, I have commitments to keep

*

Ah, how privileged I am, now I see

That I get to work in such capacity

Let me view this ability with gratitude

I am grateful for this privilege is my new attitude
