Melancholy
In the day light of warm summer,
The old lady gone out of her home,
Toiling hard and walking barefoot ,
No slippers to wear
The feet became warm with pain strunken over her ankle ,
She could not walk properly,
Crying and walking
She doesn’t have money to buy ,
So she went to look for some work
Her life became miserable
Sadness and poverty curtailed ,
Everyday she had to go without slipper,
Her feet burnt and became swollen,
She remained starved without having food for many days,
Yet she had a hope,
One day life would change ,
Brings about prosperity and wealth ,
She would buy new slippers,
And nice food for her.
Our opportunities come
Not at the same time
It may not for today
Tomorrow is not certain
Just keep fighting
Keep a cheerful heart
Cheerfulness attract blessings
Keep the faith and work hard.
We are not perfect
We all have scars
We all have fears
We all have pain
We all have our imperfections
Because perfections can not simply exist
In the human spirit for long
There are the moments in everyone lives
Where glimpses of perfection appear in our day
Finally learning a new skill
Achieving that goal
Putting the finishing touches on work of art
A freshly baked loaf of bread
From morning to evening if you work hard
Surely peace will flow into your life man
A strange bliss will set in your heart
A feeling of true satisfaction will emerge
Normally sweats will drive away tears
As they do not agree with each other
If we trust sweats, tears will vanish
Its supremacy, sweats will establish
Fools never work and say life is boring
Wise souls toil and reap rich benefits
They have full trust in work's capacity
They believe in the greatness of efforts
Body and mind must work ever together
Great jobs both can render with ease
Due to their synchronized contribution
The owner of them is elevated greatly
True efforts taken with determination
Augmented by hope and firm belief
Will invariably lead to the best end
Life will be glorified and finely honored.
Work hard towards your goals
And never give up
Maintain your inner focus
Strive in order to reach for the top
Pitfalls present themselves
But, you have to rise up through the air
Go for that gold
Be the one who perseveres
When a man falls,
For he must fall
At one time or the other in life.
In his llfetime
As long as there is life,
He will stand tall again
If he works hard
in his lifetime
Such happens
At one time or the other in life
As long as there is life.
You will see that,such is Life, in your lifetime
Work hard towards the goal
Stay on your mission
Continue to be driven
Put yourself in the position
Rise towards the top
Reach for the gold
Never stop believing in yourself
It is all within the soul
I work hard for you my darling daughter.
I want you to bask in the sunshine and enjoy the cool breeze.
I want you to have a quality life that will ensure that you live above strife.
I want you to see yourself as valuable.
I want you to do something that you are passionate about and not just run around at the beat of any drum in order to pay the bills.
So I work hard for you my darling daughter.
No compromise, no excuses, no vain glory
only the pen tells the true story
I work hard for you my darling daughter
so your life with be filled with laughter.
Those guys in white shirts are so lucky.
Compared to our job, theirs is ducky.
I speak for us plumbers.
Some days are such bummers,
spent knee-deep in things really yucky.

I WOULD RATHER WORK HARD
I would rather work hard than steal,
What does stealing has to do with me?
Instead of being mock at the market place
I would rather toil day and night under
The rain and sun sweating like though
Am to die today.
I woukd rather work hard than beg for bread
Whic men give proudly and does not satisfy.
I would rather work hard than been idle;
An iddle hand is a devil's hand tool.
I would rather labour in tears than make
My tent among thieves and idle hands.
Pull, pull
Don't let go
When you have it all
Still don't let go.
Work hard, work harder,
Work hard, work harder.
Be strong, Get stronger.
Be bold, Get bolder.
Say so long to burdens,
On your shoulders.
