To Be Done

As duty calls and my work is yet to be done,

I am returning to the world of cares,

A place where the race takes place

With all the sidekicks possible.

Not that I care much for what comes now

As my part is in doing my job

Taking one day at a time, one step at a time,

Like a trusting child, like a bruised old woman.

So tired am I today that I yearn to sleep

But rest runs away for now;

The broken fragments all picked up again,

I move on in the battle of life.

Come what may, the work is there

To be done.

Hi Ayesha,

Very nice blog. I like it much. Your devotion for Krishna is very inspiring.

'Come what may, the work is there
To be done.'

Take heart from the fact that it is the same for all.If you consider work as worship, the scene is instantly transformed into a pleasurable experience.
Have great days ahead
