Ode to the Working Man/Woman

Wood worker (pexels.com)

An ode to the working man and women. We all work in some ways, whether it be someone like the image working in a workshop with wood to someone working in computer or medical lab, or a teacher, nurse, writer or homemaker. We all work using all our specific and special talents. Whether working with wood, codes, medications/specimens, children, patients or pen and paper and a little of everything above we are all workers.

Labor Day is the day of the worker and supposedly a day to relax and give each other a high five or two, enjoy a picnic and maybe some will just enjoy the day off, since it is a federal holiday.

Laboring day or night

allowing us to

belong in society some way and giving

opportunities

rather than

determining that our

allowances are giving

you and others enough.

    Lovely ode to all those whom work to both earn a living and provide for others in some capacity.

    Great reminder of how important work is. If only all of us could labor on what we love! I always feel for people who do the jobs they hate.
