A shame about my brother
being such a lazy kind;
if only he were more like me
with a caring heart and mind.
Be along in just a moment,
there's a few things I must do;
feel free to start without me --
You know I'm there for you.
Just checking my equipment
making sure that it's all right.
I'm so eager to get on with it,
I might work through the night.
Been training for this moment,
I've sat through many classes;
all those examinations
and all those credit passes.
I can't wait to get at it,
but I'd better take a pause
to mentally prepare myself
for shouldering the cause.
I think I'm nearly ready now,
with apron, gloves and knife,
to go down to the vineyard
and to do the work of life. But
perhaps the time is not yet right,
we mustn't rush these things;
need time to think and to be sure,
see what tomorrow brings.
