HELLO TO EXCELLENCE!: SWEETNESS IN SWEAT

SWEETNESS IN SWEAT

Sow your seed, always, on a fertile soil

Do not be afraid of getting your hands soiled

Despise not labour and cease not to toil

Let work boil your blood and your food boiled

There is sweet in every drop of sweat

With a calming effect of a work cloth that is wet

Strive for your own bread and others’ do not covet

Whether by tilling the earth or creating words from alphabets

Dear friend, I challenge you to task your brain

And from mental work do not ever refrain

Allow not your potentials to go down the drain

For you’ve got all that is required for life’s gain

The reward of sweating is sweeter than honey

It gratifies the labourer with satisfaction and money

It sweetens each night’s sleep and gladdens every morning

And brightens our path in life’s weary and dreary journey

HELLO TO EXCELLENCE!
