Deeds Are Fruits, Words Are Leaves-W

Stopped into an old junk-antique shop, found a favorite The music collection of famous Ravishanker, the sitarist Just I was going to walk out as I was short of dollar eight I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned round with spite A man said” The music, too, was his dead wife’s favorite" He gave me the money, before I thank him left the site. Went home, listen through his and mine ears with delight. There was a celebrated physician with great foresight Had an old lady as patient with a hypochondriac sight Suffering from all kinds of diseases of imaginary fright Once she called him, he wrote a prescription straight She confessed, she took the medicine and was alright The note was “Do something for someone” to your might. The trees are known by their fruits, a man by his deeds right Man has three friends- wealth, relatives, and deeds to highlight First goes with him, second up to grave, deeds beyond Christ ******************** The famous Pandit Ravishanker, Sitar player maestro, the Indian music instrument like Guitar, living in Hollywood. ===================================================== Eighth place win in: Contest: Good deeds sponsored by Dane Ann Smith-Johnson

The wise physician gave this woman the prescription she needed to feel better. Doing good deeds for others always makes us feel better, like we've made a contribution to ensure someone else's happiness or well being. You do have a great message in this one, Dr. Ram. Dane Ann will love this entry. Best wishes for success. Love, Carolyn
