Labor of Love

 

 

 

For all the working men, women and teens across the lands... those who are paid, underpaid, overpaid, or not paid at all... the stay at home mom/dad, the volunteers at the local food bank, library or hospital information desk as well as the teacher, doctor, lawyer , truck driver, waitress, or the teenager down the street that almost always makes herself available to babysit, even without advance notice. It takes all of us doing our part to make this world a place that's fit to dwell in. Pick a profession and write something that gives it honor. Remember those who are also raising grandchildren in the later years as well as those who care for elderly parents, they too deserve to be thought of in a special way during the days ahead as Labor Day draws near.

RULES:

1. Post your work correctly .

2. No internet chat speak.

3. Spelling and grammar count.
