Life is a journey, the journey could be at times smooth and at time rough. Either ways requiring persistence or hard work. There should be predetermined questions such as: What is my aim? Can I hit the goal? Why not if you resist the waves coming on your way. As there is only one life to live, and that life should be memorable to self and to others. Today as we celebrating Labor Day, the following is my presentation to hard working people:
Happy Labor’s Day
Eccl. 1.8 “All things are full of labor; one cannot utter it: …”
Here comes, here comes again
On bright sunshine day of September
A Labor Day
Happy he who produced the fruit abundantly
That is the craft of his labor
There stood proudly to see the outcome joyfully
All hand in hand with no discrepancy to make
Lined up in the public square
To show the solidarity of triumph
Having no fear, proudly that includes mothers as well
She too sharing the long labor in delivering a child
And her labor not in vain
Yeshi Gemaneh
My effort and contribution should not remain in vain. For the last many years, I tried to express my feelings, my observations, and my experiences in black and white, but from what so far observed didn’t get any weight. I hope one day, will get recognition.
