[hometext] => just a ramble about working with one's own sweat and strain
[bodytext] => Physical action should be made The prepared person makes a plan Arranging for the group to toil Knowing the benefit of a good sweat. The day is long and some will weary, Working hard beneath the sun Sweat staining each back, As one by one each completes a task. Bitter sweet is the need that’s filled Cannot rest till you’ve made your run Each day and year you push onward Work the cure for what you yearn. Moving, bending; going without shade Laboring tirelessly with one’s hands The heat at noon day seems to broil, Knowing to do, all without threat. Work is shared so it’s never dreary, Every person works as one Especially for those who lack Gaining skills and friends that last. And when the day becomes still, Life and work have become but one, Physical labor is its own reward Promotions, wages – a living earned.
