Work

Work.
Toil.
The pain I put in the ground.
For such a precious thing.
Corn. 
The family enjoys their meal.
They plant their leftover kernels.
And wait for me to tend to them.
Work. 
An endless cycle in which happiness is born.

I like the old Ink Spots recording - "I'd work Ifn I could find any pleasure in it." Regards, daver
