Working Wonders Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Suppose you are sitting quiet
Nothing particular to do
Getting a little bored

And suppose a work approaches you
A little shabby, a little uninteresting
A little nobody among works

So what would you do?
Turn up your nose?
Wait for a finer fellow to come?

Better accept it, welcome it
Usher it in respectfully
Begin with patience and finish it well

And what would that little nobody do?
Bless you a thousand fold
For work is a generous giver

It remembers, it respects the doer
It pays with its heart
No matter how small it is, no matter how dull it is!
