A Formula for Joy

My parents told me to find a better job.
I chose to nod then ignore. I’m happy,
can’t they see? There is purpose found
within the neat confines of my work.

“Make a difference in the world”
is typed below my senior year
photo. Kept it vague on purpose.

Nothing remains in place
but for the joy found
when looking at the world
and stating, “I strive to
make you better”.
