Found In Translation Poem by Omar Osman Jabak

I never thought I would be an educator.
I thought I was more of a chemist or a trader.
As time went by, I also became a translator.
You think you choose the job you do,
But time proves your job will find you,
And soon you like the job you take to.
Some take translation for a great art
And those performing for super smart!
Most agree with this, though in part.
Some take it for a tricky science
With rigid rules and much defiance,
Which also has a greater influence.
To translate is to live an experience
One underwent, but with a variance.
