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.
