Work



October 1, 2014

Work

Work is that thing
That delights a heart
At days’ end.
When one looks back and sees
A clean-swept garage, all neat and
Organized,
Or the fresh, soft dirt in demure,
Little rows covering tiny seeds,
Or empty tables after
A successful yard sale.

Work is being dog-tired
With a clean house and
Laundry done,
Or dragging in after
Clearing brush and
Cutting trees.

And that smile work gives!
Ah! the feeling!
Of honest work done to
The best of my ability
That shoots a smile of
Happiness,
An invisible message
To those you love
Who know work,
And send back
An equal reply.
