A poem from my book My Own Poems of Life
Work
Sometimes you need to work
Get yourself working
In working order
One can say
Most people need to work to make life
Make life go forth
So that you can sustain yourself and your family if you have one
You can work with many different things
All kinds really
Try to find the one that fits with you best
That is the best suited for you
And the one you find to be the most fun
Day in and day out
Sometimes you need to take that job
That is not so fun
So you can pay your bills and stuff
So you don't go broke
That is something you don't want
Really
Me myself don't need to work so much
Just as much as I can handle
Which is not a lot
It's these diagnosis I have
And I will always have them indeed
They do mess with me
In the way I live my life
How I can live my life
And that will never change
So I can't work as much as the other guy
I want to live out my life well though
And I will live for a long time yet
I have many years left on me
But I have found something I like doing
So that is a positive thing
It's really great I must say
I'm more happy today because of this
More happy then I have been for a long time
I do fun stuff mostly
I work with great people
I mean how much more could one ask for?
In this day in age of time
