work is worship

work is worship

everyone is born to work
from dawn to dusk
may it be the animals or the birds
and, we the humans to work

We have time to play
we have time to read
but no one knows when the ant rests
so also the people who work throughout the day.

when I see the birds fly to get their food
when I see the cattle graze to give us milk
and when I see the old generation immersed in work
I feel why we the youngsters shirk at work.

Now I know when I become old
we are born to work
grom dawn to dusk
but we should know that even in play
we have to think to work.

When we pray the lord
he does not say we should not work
because the young and old should know that
work is worship.

I think this thought is onto something. Work is worship. It's the worship of our own existence, or the worship of money, or the worship of the joy of working in itself. Nice poem

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
