Well Done

Well done
If you can’t do what you love
Then love what you do
This may sound rather cheesy
But nonetheless it’s true
Not every job that should be done
Will have the same attraction
And then again not every job
Will promise satisfaction
However fancy it may be
However high the pay
Still this is not a guarantee
That it will make your day
A job must have real purpose
Be it fancy, fine or strange
And what makes it important
Is when it brings about real change
When it serves the greater multitude
Be it the rich or poor
When it lays a bridge for progress
Or creates an open door
And bridges make connections
As doors lead to what is new
And new things create new chances
Be it many or just a few
And new chances bring new blessings
And when counted one by one
Each blessing shows the value of
A job well done.
