Another day
under the sun,
works for her pay
no prizes won.
Solemn sweat beads
on tired brows,
helps ease great needs
and honor vows.
Fruitful wishes
fly from worn hands,
conquers glitches
then proudly stands.
Responsible,
with all duties,
unstoppable,
holds many keys.
Labor swallows
every last thought,
never wallows,
or feels distraught.
Tomorrow glows
with hopeful views,
ambitions grow,
as dreams come true.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
