Craftsmanship

Some ever would be where they’re not, would ever have that they’ve not got.

True happiness – contented mind, sufficient near at hand will find.

Absorbing interests lie all around, will by observant mind be found,

When brain and hand together strive, real happiness becomes alive.

In the pursuit, the pleasure lies, the how and wherefore to devise.

Though vision dreamed will far excel, the work achieved, yet it is well.
