SATISFACTION
If you want to go to bed with satisfaction in your heart,
Through the day you have to work hard to do your part,
That satisfied feeling is not given us on a silver platter,
But we need to serve, help many others in some matter.

Awake determined to work well to do your very best,
Don’t sit back and smile watch others while you rest,
No satisfactory sleep will ever come your way at all,
In fact that kind of attitude leads you to a terrible fall.

So even if you are sick there must be something to do,
At least be pleasant and simple tasks try and get through.
If strong and healthy be determined to do always His will,
Then at the end of the day of satisfaction have your fill.
