Work Is Love Made Visible-W

I do not know what work there is as many feel I have always worked with love and taste In my teens my second home was Library Reading Gulliver travels and one-act plays. After getting my master’s degree in English I got a job in the university campus as a lecturer And never felt teaching as a work but joy there. My house was where I could hear college bells. My class-room lectures were for three hours And reading at home for next day preparation. I *dramatized great works for the college fine arts Even I *directed those works in my spare times. After retirement my sons look after my needs I enjoy looking after my needs for the fine arts. ************* *The title of the poem is a famous quote of Great Urdu Poet Khalil Zibran *P.S. I shall be posting some photographs of my activities in France and England, 1989. in my blog shortly ==================================== Eighth place winner in Contest: The work you do in Honor of Carolyn Devenshire

I know that if you love something about your work you are a happy person and if you do not love it -it then becomes an effort to go to work. Most are not lucky enough to find that dream job. Good luck in the contest. God Bless Phyl
