Successful Pleasure
Doing the best I can
Am I really, could I do more
How does one measure
The pain or the pleasure
Is success that mansion you stay in
Is success that big fancy car
Is success the big fat bank account
Not for me, not by far
Yes I am doing my best
Always striving to do more
A life filled with zest
Only to end when I hit the floor
How do I measure
My pain and pleasure
It's easy, the pain keeps me sane
The pleasure is seeing smiles
On those who I treasure
Am I really, could I do more
How does one measure
The pain or the pleasure
Is success that mansion you stay in
Is success that big fancy car
Is success the big fat bank account
Not for me, not by far
Yes I am doing my best
Always striving to do more
A life filled with zest
Only to end when I hit the floor
How do I measure
My pain and pleasure
It's easy, the pain keeps me sane
The pleasure is seeing smiles
On those who I treasure

Good job. And no, success isn't always measured by materiaL things. I think most of us try to do the best that we can. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the comments. Greatly appreciated.
Yes we all do the best we can but some need to find a way to enjoy how they do it. I try and open the eyes to those who need it.
