I sweat…
To serve a purpose,
A life worthwhile, I heed.
From dawn to dusk, I toil
To suffice blissfully my needs.
To exhaustion, never surrender.
At times, to pains, succumb
Unmindful of how arduous the ways,
Just to get the pays in gross.
I work…
For purposive motive.
With self-respect, I gained.
To ambitions, avow,
Of daunts in work, I veto.
For coming generation,
I may brag and show,
I gained the great prize,
Through sweat of brow.
