The tool unused lies lost in dust,
The sword unused turns dull with rust,
The path unused grows clogged with weed,
The crop untended goes to seed.
Skills unused will soon decay,
Talents wasted, fade away.
I will work with a wish and I’ll work with a will,
And the task that life brings me I’ll gladly fulfill,
And unfolding new skills, many joys shall be mine.
Away dull rust! Let me shine!
