(Poem inspired by article at The High Calling & poetics “gift” prompt at dVerse.)
work is life gift
created to create
something productive
with whatever we have
stretch and hone abilities
promote one’s self-respect
provide for own desires
satisfy another’s need
give something back
to world we live in
joyfully serve six
actively rest one
weekly rhythm
work is life
…a gift!

light holds night at bay
warm earth blooms, time to make hay
farmer’s favorite day
dandelion lawn
cows in pasture, tractor’s song
work as day is long
Written in response to Carpe Diem’s prompt as we all anticipate the longest day
