Even the Sun Rests

Even the sun rests

Laying down at the end of day

Welcoming the moon

Never have they competed

Each knows its role in nature

 

When their time is over

They take solace in their work

And a job well done

Perhaps man could learn something

If he just paid attention

Choosing To Work With Hands In The Earth (Sonnet)

Choosing to work with hands in the earth

The peace, the sun, the dirt under my nails

Paying homage to God with all that I’m worth

With prayers that my undertakings will not fail

.

Rest…I know not how regardless of the day

Once commanded so long ago, this I know

No disrespect do I mean, this is just my way

Through my labors this is how I show

.

Good for both the body and eternal soul

I offer my sweat and blood in your honor

All this that I sacrifice shall never take its toll

Doing nothing but good, my faults I shall conquer

.

Surrounded by God through all we endeavor

For this world is His temple, would He abandon us, I think never.
