Is it for the Sun? Or the greens? Or the blossoms?

For whom is it?

I thought I lost the game for the happiness on my baby boy’s face.
But later, I realised it was for the satisfaction 'I' felt on seeing his joy.

I thought I did charity for aiding the needy.
But then, I realised it was for the happiness 'I' felt on seeing them assisted.

I thought I cooked to quench my kin’s famishment.
But later, I realised it was for the sense of satiety 'I' felt when they ate with love.

I thought I called my confidant to let her blabber and voice out her concerns.
But then, I realised it was for the content 'I' felt to be of help.

I thought I married him because he liked me, and he wanted to.
But later, I realised it was for the peaceful sleep 'I' had while being in his arms.

All throughout, while i thought i was doing it for the other person, i noticed i was doing it for myself - for my own good, my own wants, out of my own desires.
