Better Than Gold

Introducing our own Dr Ram Though he be not from Thailand Siam Creation made him then broke the mold Dr Ram’s words are better than gold The man Ram’s contests quite a pleasure Poems provides own little treasure Gent of class from India I’m told Dr Ram’s words are better than gold Willingly a heart ask how and when Listen to his advice then you win Never has he caused one heart to fold Dr Ram’s words are better than gold He’s contented with his earthy lot Settled back in his favorite spot Affluent in talent and he’s bold Dr Ram’s words are better than gold He says all my dues have all been paid At peace I’ll watch my own sunset fade Seventy plus, why break a good mold Dr Ram’s words are better than gold For Joe Maverick and Contest: Better Than Gold

Yes, John, you are right. all my dues all been paid, but this last due to all of you who wrote feelingly on me remains unpaid. Wish God gives me strength to stand to what all of you have said about me. Thanks John. I am very sorry for a little bit misunderstanding on my part on your earlier version. I regret it much.

Moses, moses, moses, you out did yourself on this one, thank you for your kind comments on my blog where have you been son? haven't heard from you in a while, I see you are still doing what you do best that is posting your excellent poetry, Remember without the Holy Spirit to aid in my writing I could not do it, I'm recovering from TB and at tip top shape again, just a bump in the road. Will look in to your poetry later in the eve, God bless my friend.
