Work Is Worship

Work Is Worship 


Working all day out in the sun
May not after all be so much fun.
Reaping rich profits, making business click
Is a lot of hard work & a much bigger risk.

Some work for the society
Some with lots of sincerity.
Some work just for killing time
About  money they don’t care a dime.

A few spend hours at holy places
Hoping for luckily catching big fishes.
Some get only a few hours of respite
Simply sweating it out all day & night.

Purely workaholics are an inspiration to many
While few desperate souls run after money.
Work makes the old look & feel younger
Some are ever hungry, work- their only hunger.

Some work for family, some for education
Work for some is as good as meditation.
Work is what keeps the spark of life alive
Work indeed is worship & indeed Divine.

The Hand


THE HAND


The strong hand that held the tiny
The little dresses and clips so shiny
The hand that neatened the clutter around
The hand that never made a sound.

The hand that cooked yummy dishes
And fulfilled your little wishes
The hand that taught to read and write 
The hand that made your future bright.

The hand that always prayed for you
The hand that always swayed to you
The hand that most are lucky to find
Acknowledge that hand, don't be blind
