I use these hands to work
work in the dirt and gravel
I use these hands to build
I build and craft to help
My hands become filthy
Filth of all the work I have done
The dirt of all the hard labor
Hard work and labor
All done by these rough
rough, filthy hands

And out of filth comes honest labor to be proud of. Nicely written with good contrast.
