# Happy Times # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Am always busy with my duties

As I focus to resolve any difficulty

That may crop up any time of the day

Makes me happy to serve the demand without delay

By checking the accuracy of the results

Of the laboratory tests of each patient who consults

For diagnosis of their ailments through blood tests

That provide specific test parameters for doctors diagnosis.



Upon reaching home from work

My children meet me at the door

To greet me by taking my hand to touch their forehead

As sign of respect and love to elders

This act of my loved ones makes me happy

And gives me inspiration to do more

To work harder for them

Providing their basic needs.



As I sleep with my wife

Happiness filled my tired day

Revitalizes my soul with innate love

That I share with here ever since

The first moment we bowed to marriage

With the promise to love each other

Till death do us part

And with faith to be together in resurrection.



My life has been routine

I wake at seven in the morning

And help prepare my six kids for school

As my lovely wife cooks for us

After breakfast I bid goodbye to them

As I set to work in the hospital

And do my duty as medical technologist

All these make me happy to live.
