Critical Work

d'Verse

Critical Work

The work of the rain and the insects 
is 
work never seen.
They work hard, slow
 and quiet 
with
 work time concealed.

Slow and small 
but 
still as critical 
as 
the sun to the field.

All work is needed
 to make best soil
 for 
the yield!


There is not one job
 more 
important then another.
It takes all planning and thinking 
with
 a word to sustain.

If the world were all men
 with machines 
who only complain,

critical work 
left undone, 
will
 always remain!


Do not measure 
the
 worth of your work,
by 
large equipment,
 your noise, 
or
 the size of the space.

For work with small tools
 and 
in a small place,

will determine 
the fate 
of
 the whole human race!

  2. Hello,

    I'm a freelance journalist for the Beacon News. I do the Blog Log each week, where we feature a blog in the Fox Valley area and the writer of the blog. Your blog caught my attention and I think it would be a great fit for the newspaper. If you're interested, I'd like to send you some questions that you can answer at your earliest convenience.

    Thanks,
    Joy Davis
