Count His Blessings, Keep On Stepping

I, Ram, breathed in this world In the town once ruled by Lord Krishna Ever since I have counted his blessings And with His grace have kept on stepping. Though born in a family of a teacher Received all the attention from my parents That encouraged me to be in the noblest profession. Culminating into D.Litt. from the most respected Organization, World Congress of poets (UNO) At Los Angeles, an undreamt honor so far. Once I had been attacked by Cancer in 1994 But it was totally cured with clean health. Cancer came to cancel me but I cancelled cancer. Lord, has given me healthy body never to Bother how many medicine tablets to be taken. And freedom to take care of my passions I love Other things being looked after by my children. At 80, all my senses are active and quite in command Traveled over four continents and still to travel but Ready and waiting to leave any time, if my Lord desires With no unsolved Karmic problems un-ruptured, But with atonement, ready to be judged by Him I wait but still keep on stepping, counting his blessings. +++ September 7, 2014 Form: Narrative Dr. Ram Mehta Contest: Keep It Real by Skat-A
