    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.
