As a Daughter

This one job is all I ask

I'm a simple being, I do not ask for much. i am frugile and I am not selfish

I am modest. I cannot say I am a saint nor am I selfless being...

But, I do not ask for much, I have one wish

I still wish and take a step toward it inch by inch i go forward that path. 

There is always a mountain, that blocks

Always, there is an ocean that must be crossed. 

Lost hope, but there is a chance, it is a slim chance. 

Many others are on this path as well. 

They are more equipped, further ahead then from me. 

Smarter and stronger and of the best, no one denies me yet to take this path. 

No one has yet told me I did not qualify or the quality...

I am afraid, to the point that I am senseless and I have doubts of this dream and hope

It is a goal and a job; one that I must take in order to fullfil  my destiny.

I trip and fall, fail and cry but this one job is all I ask, but someone help me. 

It is realistic, possible and humane. It is an abnormal dream but not uncommon nor is it lucrative. 

I do not wish to be famous nor do I wish to be powerful or influential. None of that is useful...

Who I am and who I will always be, that determines everything and is who I am. 

I may be many things and more; I may come to hold many more titles but I reckon I held this job since birth. 

It was given to me and yet it is something that I must receive...

It was not called by it but it is from the blood that flows that I have the chance to hold this job. 

Changes in my life is ever-occuring, and it is natural that it would never stop. 

I desire vehemently to satisfy all requirements needed in order to be perfect in that job. 

I owe it to her and myself. 

It is a job.

It is a responsibility that repays the person who gave me breath. It is through her pain that I live. 

I will repay her, and then I will receive praises, honor and more

While it is the hardes of the job it is the easiest and the most important. 

A crucial job...

Complicated and simple...painstaking and worthwhile...

I am a daughter. I am her daughter...

And that is my job.
