My Work

by: Aowenicles


Let me do my work from day to day
Let me find it in my heart to say
This work can best be done in the right way
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray

People are afraid to let me try,
And sometimes I need to cry
My sight inconvenience has taught me,
And the courage to be all I can be

In field or forest, at the desk or loom
In roaring marketplace or tranquil room
"This is my work, my blessing not my doom"
Of all who live, I am the one by whom

At eventide,
To play and love and rest
Because I know, for me,
MY WORK is BEST
