If non-stop efforts you take
Success you can make
If you with eager pursue hard
Help comes from the Lord
The more and more you work
God supplies the needed luck
Only by following strict discipline
Glory can be by you surely seen
If your motto is to emerge victorious
Do gladly the task that is laborious
Get pleasure in the performance
Learn and teach great lessons
Let your life be for all an example
Regard living as praying in a Temple
Derive happiness from true toil
This will preserve the holy soil
Teach the World about fine efforts
As that only will fetch real comforts
Hard-work's power, nothing can match
God's attention, hard-work will catch
Just upon honest work if you depend
His merciful hands, God will then lend
With prayer and God, do the impossible
God alone is always kind and reasonable
God can do that which we can't perform
If we rely upon Him, He will stop harm.
Like glass jars
fresh from the canner...
neatly forced into rows
by content and date...
like this are the rows
of carefully calculated,
labeled and catalogued
pockets of my mind
Peaches cannot sit
beside green beans
Soft thoughts cannot
be in with math data
And please, put each file
back exactly where you found it
Out hunting in the woods, late in the fall
I came upon a wild persimmon tree
Strewn all around were reddish-yellow balls
A treasure it had dropped, now mine for free
With empty game bag down upon one knee
Inspecting them to make sure they were ripe
I picked them up and squeezed them carefully
Then on my sleeve, I'd give a gentle swipe
And if there's juice enough to leave a stripe
Then in the bag, how mom would be surprised
At least when I got home there'd be no gripe
Because no squirrels met with their demise
Persimmons make the sweetest of preserves
Especially the ones my mama serves
