My Heaven

My Mother works hard; I work by Her side;
Devotional action is my heaven.
When She is pleased, I know that all is right,
She who’s Queen of my noble affections.
Humans seek nonexistence or hammocks,
But I would prefer a divine Workshop,
Where with spiritual tools and power
In God’s presence and guidance, I labor.
Your heaven’s to me a hell of boredom,
My heaven to you is achy and toilsome.
I see my work as love, bliss, and freedom;
You behold burdens to be overcome.
I rejoice in living, breathing, acting,
Finding Mother’s holy will fulfilling.
