Service & Responsibility

Oh, how delightful,
to relish sweet pleasure, and
to meet our purpose!

…

To meet our duties, 
honoring their deep purpose. 
All duties have it.

Making food, fuel, friends.
There are many ways to serve.
Service is service.            

… 

To toil in the soil, 
to make or to bake, to serve, 
to delve in the soul.

To work ‘til we sweat, 
to contribute our something, 
and rest in the end.

… 

May we get going
and worry less about more.
Work improves our odds.

… 

Bustling city buzz,
money and sunny honey.
Busy as beehive.

… 

When we awaken, 
we no longer get worried.
We do get working. 

… 

May we stay the course,
past the point of no return.
It’s not easy, no.

Yes, it takes courage.
May we encourage courage.
With trust and with truth.

 …

Everyone changes.
May we change, shift on purpose,
with purpose, for Good.

… 

With courage, effort,
we tackle the tough tasks, now.
For the common Good.

… 

Putting right effort,
labor, never losing faith.
Good trouble, good work.

…  

We are committed
to each other, to keep on.
It’s not over yet.

…

Too many to-dos.
Duty calls and tasks abound.
Be careful, my dear.

To please everyone.
To try to achieve it all.
It's a booby trap.
…

No mistakes at all.
Impossible-to-meet goals.
Perfectionism.

…

Some goods are well-earned.
Effort, will, perseverance.
Some come by pure grace.

… 

We gave it our all,
‘til there was no more to give.
We lost anyway.

We put right effort,
labored, grappled, struggled, strained.
And this time it worked!

…

Though still far from goal, 
we’re quite closer than we were 
when started walking. 

While we’re not done yet,
things are better than they were
when started working.
