a poem in my pocket

(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!
