Why I Do It

One day someone will ask,

"Hey Dion, why do you do it?

You don't get paid.

You don't get any recognition.

People rarely appreciate you.

Why do you do it".

... and I may or may not,

hesitate to find the words to say.

Still, when I do answer,

I will say,

"You're right.

It is not easy,

but I don't do it for recognition.

I don't do it to be appreciated.

I certainly, don't do it to get paid.

I believe in what I am doing.

I don't expect,

alot of people to understand.

... and yes,

I do get weary sometimes,

and sometimes it may be stressful,

and sometimes yes,

I do forget why I am doing it,

but the day it becomes,

to much of a burden,

and only God knows,

when that will be,

that will be day,

that I leave this earth.
