For those of you who are unaware, my son is an excellent writer. Yes, I am biased, but it is also true. His first novel is now available on Amazon, and right now, the Kindle version is only $5.99. He has recently launched a website that also hosts a blog called The Good Endeavor. Here is one of his inaugural poems of the same title. Be sure to check it out.
Look on yonder yet
There’s work still to be done
Look on yonder yet
The risen one has yet to come
See the work dog carry on
See the songbird build its nest
See the old horse, weary, yawn
Their time’s not come to rest
There’s a mighty good crop
And the harvest is plentiful
Of what the sower did drop
Little is lamentable
Get to work, you tired son
Beat your sword to plowshare
Get to work; the battle’s won
Seek to mend the disrepair
Take on yourself the good endeavor
And bring new life to all this death
Adorn the dark with grace forever
And labor ‘till your final breath
Matthew 9:37
-M. D. Eaton
