# Business Is Not Easy # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Just embarked in a restaurant business

I Thought at first it was just an easy venture

To hired people to cook scrumptious foodstuff

Where customers like to buy and enjoy the meal.



But I was wrong of my assumption of such notion

When in just two days I discovered many loopholes

Too many discrepancies, busy and much expenses

That I have suffered headache and very tired body.



No wonder my wife too has been moody all day

That we no longer have the time to converse

Or even to look at each eyes to give a smile

Such hours have been a torture to us both.



Yet, at the latter phase of the endeavor

We realized that such hard work is part

Of life's survival to support our children

Basic needs like food and education.



In this restaurant business we engage

Has enhanced our family relationship

Through this collective effort we found

That working together make us closer.
