Beauty of What We Love
"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do" Rumi
Beauty of What We Love
In a realm where work is cherished
And love of work is sacred,
There`s ground for talent to flourish
And artistic skill to soar high;
Fulfilling what we love with care
And loving with heart what we do
Transforms a chore into an art,
A beauty we ever renew.
Let us not expect that manna
Will fall from the celestial sky,
But fold our sleeves, take up brushes
And do paint the best we can try;
Let us not expect gratitude
To rain from a patronal cloud,
But garb on a calm attitude
And blissful gleams will light our way.
Let`s carry out what we perform,
The tasks we we love to undertake,
To the top of the highest norm
With loyalty and devotion;
Let`s carry our tasks with passion
To the utmost we can afford,
With commitment and conviction,
As an offering to the Lord.
No task is too big, or too small,
The same dignity have they all;
Love for man we sprinkle around
Takes roots in the ground and abounds.
