No problem sorry if it was quite confusing

Would you just give up to despair because things are getting hard,
Or will you stand up firm against the tide and try to fight against the odds.
Reflect a lot and trust yourself and success will surely come along.
Kick off with the work and stop at nothing .Don't cry too much on the battles you lost because ultimately you will win the war.

Work! Work! Work! Why is it all about work? When some people suffer and toil from it to get what they need; while others get what they want effortlessly?
Or is it fair that minutes, hours, days are wasted for it. Then you might get what you need, while higher ranks with a click of a finger will get their yearning crave.
Ranting and ranting for those to hear and attend. Do you ever consider what the people who work endlessly for you have to face? When they scavenge for pennies or coins.You have whatever your heart content.
Keep remembering that you aren't the un luckiest person in the world and that their is some that have less and remember we are all similar in kind that none of us are superior, none of us are less. We are all equals.
Thanks for reading,

Really really need it, and although it isn't a beautiful dove (actually, it's more of a shove)
Keeping it up may be hard, but hey! You go there every day!

WOW, amazing papaya that`s amazing!!!
The word WORK makes me think off what I want to be when I grow up ……
Wow is what people will say when they see my fashion design.
Ordinary is not what I want my customers to feel when they wear one of my dresses.
Recycled materials is what I will use.
“ Killing it ” is what the press will say about my design!!!!
I love it, you fashion designer!
What the word work means to me.
When the world turns round and round,
Or even when the queen was crowned,
Remember the people who made this happen,
Kiosks have to stay open to make you gladdened.
Thank you for reading.

R . rewarding to earn a salary - it's quite a treat - and paying to help others makes it feel sweet and rather complete
K . knowledge is power and doubles by the hour

What we do for the community
Overtime we will all learn important things
Rather than just giving up try to persevere
Keep on trying and never give up!
When you are finally ready to start earning money to look after yourself
Over the moon once you get your dream job
Running around the town looking for your office
Keep on believing in yourself, you will get there soon!
Do you just stand there and let yourself fail
What do you stand up for yourself and fight for justice and study as hard as you can??
Do you just Give up on your dreams and your hopes.
Or do you persevere and try your hardest to get to your destination
Push yourself to the limit keep on doing what you want to do And I can guarantee you’ll be prosperous and wealthy in life
Where you go to earn money five days a week,
Once you get the hang of it your job can be easy,
Rules must be followed to keep the order and keep your job,
Know you what you are doing or be punished.
Where people earn money to feed their families and other essentials
Oenologist which studies in Wine and Winemaking, the word comes from the Greek word 'oinos' (wine)

Obviously some people think working is hard and a bit boring
Really it is just something you do to contribute and earn a living

Working is great for the economy
Or if you dont want to get money you get fame
Running across fields of fun
Kicked the fun when you do a job though its not fun
that is really cool!
Women and men go to work.
Oarsman is a type of job
Running is not a job
Keep working to achieve something
Colds and Coronavirus spreads around the air around us
Old people and young people die by this infectious disease
Ravenous coronavirus puts people to bed
Obedient coronavius is just nasty
Nobody dares to stand up to this monster
And it snatches people as if they where ragdolls
Thank you for this! Do you think it's fair to say no one dares to stand up to it when governments around the world are investing billions in fighting it? Can you do one about WORK as that is our topic?
I did corna because it is a big event in life.
Work to earn for your family
Only do what you think is right
Rest after a long day of work
Keep working hard !
Working gains you money
Off we go to do our job
Really hard work
Keen to do some more
Work can sometimes
Offer education to others
Or it could possibly mean
Kicking a ball around a football pitch.
sorry, I didn't mean to send that last one yet.
Work can sometimes
Offer education to others or it could mean
Running around and
Kicking a ball around a football pitch.
Whatever you do,
Operate or type,
Really work hard,
Knowing it'll pay off by saving lives or saving flights.
Work can mean helping at home,
Or saving lives ,
Knights in battle to being kind to the homeless.
Working to earn money to survive, men and women,
Operating to save lives or simply just typing
Really working hard
Keep going to achieve our goals!
When help is at need
Or if you coach work outs
Really try hard and
Know it's the effort that counts.
Working all day all night everyday
Or commencing to battle mode to save the day
Reconnecting with the money
Keeping a safe distance from the other communitys!
What am I to do in this big strange place,
On my shoulders is a huge great weight.
Really hard,and a tiring space
Keep going, if I can do something worthwhile that's great!
Work as a team
Occupy yourself so you aren’t bored all day
Respect people in your workplace
Keen to start the day at work
Work is important for everyday life because it teaches people the importance of responsibility and it helps people appreciate what they have. It can also aspire people to want to be better at what they have wanted to do. Work is something that can teach children to aim for something and set goals to work and have the job they have always wanted. Some advantages of working is that you can meet new people that can progress into friends and you earn money that is useful and essential to everyday life. Some disadvantages of working is that you can sometimes work in a toxic environment, like a workplace that isn’t correct for you and you can also have a job that you don’t like but if you do like your job it won’t feel like work and it will be more enjoyable. Work is a learning experience that sets you on your way to success.
Working will help you
Our work is unique to us
Reality is amazing
Knowing what you want to do
Work is a time were you get a job,
Or is a time to make your own,
Rest is a time when you retire from all your work,
Knowing that you have done most of the work.
We are awesome.
offer education to other.
really hard work.

Work is hard
Oh why is work so hard
