Sonnet Xxix

Watch fashion style a brand new twist,
Work wears a face in sober looks;
Poise makes a pile in crafty risk,
Pray for good grace to fill your books.
Intent knows well the arc of work,
Be boldly brave to bear life's stress;
Content floods tell in stance that jerks,
See how love saves what faith does dress.
Cheer knows the way to meet each day,
Be willing then to be your best;
Charm finds each play fond gist that says,
You know not when success meets quest.
Set your mind well as heart fronts drive,
Your life now gels as joy arrives.
