WORK ETHICS

Many a lesson I learned from my father...

Like when to be strong;

When it's proper to cry

For a man grown mature in his

Nurturing ways;

How to put dignity into our days

Which are labeled and numbered

'Til fate plays it's hand;

How to put back what we

Take from the land.

But by far the greatest lesson of all,

Taught by my father's example to me,

Was that work is a privilege,

Not a labor,

Nothing in life is for free.

Those who are hired by those willing to pay

Have a contract, a promise to fill,

And no one should need to look over your shoulder

To make sure you're paying the bill.
