Labor Day Poems - Poems about Labor Day

Labor Day long weekend
My long weekend trips had changed and ruined, By your early morning text messages. On Saturday, 2025.03.08@03:08:00. You texted me to let me know, It was your birthday, you turned 21+ years old. You also wanted to let me know, The reasons why you stopped saying hello, And all forms of communications. I respected your birthday was a significant event, Happily to celebrate with...

Labor Day Road Trip
Another test to prove - if its true that distance is shorter to mom's house than mine? And witness - how belted-in kids can still spin up reasons to fight and bite; or explore why - at least one kid gets sick so quickly at the start of the trip; and rehearse our scripts on what to say or not say to the...

September Falls
September falls within the best of times. Elections nearing, campaigns underway; Predictions, weather-wise for cooler climes. Thus teachers, teens and toddlers break from play Ere education calls their minds to grind. Men have endorsed re-naming Labor Day; But that’s September’s summons of a kind Enlight’ning us of work that must go on Regardless of what holiday we find. Fall features color when...

On Labor Day
On Labor Day, some stores are closed And many catch a break By getting paid for staying home, No penalty at stake. I guess it’s kind of strange That this time off’s a welcome perk For a day that honors workers – That is irony at work. But there always are some laborers Who never get to stop, Which includes those gals in labor Who...

Fallen star In my dark I needed someone to love me; who dies for it in the same way I had given up on love I had given up on trust I had given up on sorrow, pulling me downward and away You wouldn't allow me to dry into dust You wouldn't allow me to be, waste thereof You wouldn't let misery go...

Labor Day 2024
In the realm of labor, where workers toil, Their sweat and tears upon the soil, On Labor Day, we honor those Whose hard work and dedication shows. From fields of grain to towering skyscrapers, They build our world, these labor shapers, With hands calloused and backs bent low, They forge ahead, through wind and snow. In factories, offices, and homes, They never falter, they...

Whether the work-load is manual or high-tech exercises; Whether it taxes our brain, leaving us without answers; Or dirties our entire body with dirt, dust, and grease; Whether the tasks stress our emotions to the max: Or compel us to take prescription pills to relax; We all labor so that we may reach a point of rest and ease. This...

Laziness is not a gift from God nor useful to mankind. Accountability is a divine prerequisite for productivity. Bible quote: "If a man doesn't work; neither should he eat".* Ownership is another word for self-respect and healthy pride. Respect for human beings is the gateway to valuing their work. Devaluing the labor of others does not increase one's own value. Advances...
