On My Wake (Own Eulogy) Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Sudden death came to me this hour.
I expected to die but not this moment:
When I am on the height of my prime,
my familycelebrates my promotion,
my nurse son just turned Nurse II,
my daughter is second now on her Internship,
my second grandson attended his grade I class,
so much good things I had to witness and feel glad!

My colleague would give an eulogy for me:
my boss will speak of my contributions to the office,
my assistant would be saying howI lead by example,
my interns would remember how kind I taught them,
my mentors would mention how cooperative I am,
others would mention I gave them acrostic poems,
over-all they would say I am a good person and talented.

My family would be teary eyed to gave their individual eulogy:
my mother would be first to say 'she loves me very much'
my father would not say much but agree to my mom's testimony,
my brothers and sisters would say I am a good borther to them,
my wife would probably say I am her true love and life,
my children would surely say ' We will miss you daddy'

But, if i could answer them all from where I lay now
I will say to them ' I am not perfect, I just did what any good mortal person does'
