Oh, you gotta get a glory in the work you do
I’ve been reading a lot of poetry lately. A snatch of a poem my grandmother used to quote about finding meaning in work came to mind:
Oh, you gotta get a glory
In the work you do;
A hallelujah chorus
In the heart of you.
Paint, or tell a story,
Sing, or shovel coal,
But you gotta get a glory
Or the job lacks soul.
Berton Baley
Even Google and Duck-Duck Go don’t know much about it, so here it is in my grandmothers handwriting. From cleaning houses, to taking care of kids, to canning beans she NEVER did anything halfway.
