There is a pleasure in work

There is a pleasure in work
Or at least there can and should be.
Have balance, whether you work in the field or New York;
Let cheer, good humour and brightness abide with thee.

Будь бадьорим

Будь бадьорим у справах, житті
І при різкому вітру витті,
І при середовищі, що спокій має
Адже Господь щиро любить і дбає.

Forget about your fears

Forget about your fears,
Please, don’t be so sad.
I am with you, I will wipe off your tears.
Cheer up! It drives me mad.

You are my dearest part,
But now your mood is like gloomy weather.
I need a little smile to cure my heart.
Everything will be alright because we are together!

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?
I cannot understand.
Perhaps, everything is not so bad,
But my troubles are like sand.

How funny it is:
Your one and only phone call
Could cure my “disease” –
You are my cheer and my goal.

I see “dew” under your eyes

I see “dew” under your eyes,
But why can no one realize?
However you are not alone, be sure.
Look at the sky, its an open door!

The Father is always with you,
He sees and hears, it’s true.
Don’t be crestfallen, cheer up,
Pray on, He can refill your cup!

A good way to spread cheer
Is to embrace it truly;
Even if it means to make an effort fully,
To keep your mind light and clear.

St. Nicholas was a man,
But to serve the Lord was his plan.
He is known as a saint bestowing with cheer.
Be like him, help your neighbour far and near.

All who work get sticky moments.
Do not lose courage or cheer;
Do your work, whether alone or with a peer;
Make sure your communication is clear.

Have space for joy
In your schedule alway.
Sing, cook, play…
Be of good cheer, shine your way.

Pray on whatsoever,
Whether things are smooth or tough,
Thank the Lord ever;
May He make you cheerfully laugh.
