time is full of sweat
under the blaze of
a tropical sun
hands and feet
calloused and blistered
yeah but it feels good
blessed to haul
to dig to carry to clean
to bury to move to and fro
with so much weight in tow
to rise before dawn
and drive the body
under the swelter of
the sun
and barely even see dusk
for sheer exhaustion
blessed to stress
the body this way
blessed to have the ocean
less than 50 steps away
blessed to munch lunch
strip and swim
before lunch ends
and work begins again
can't complain
when I've seen
so much worse in
my days
so even when I can
barely keep my eyes open
I'm knowin' blessings abound
