Doing is enjoyment

You have watched many shows,

Spending time and money.

You have listened to many concerts

Losing time and money.

You have accomplished many acts

Draining time and energy.

Likewise you have brought up your kids

Pouring time and blood.

What gain have you got from them all?

All may appear to you as mockery.

You did them for the pleasure that

Accrued in doing such deeds.

That pleasure is your gain. It’s not in vain.
