On the Spot
Never I can forget that day,
memories remain fresh, as if
it happened only yesterday.
I didn't expect you would open
up your mind with such lovely thought;
Flow of words was like a poem;
Tells me from life what else you sought.
Yet, that imprints feeling which stay
in memory for decades, touch
heart always in positive way.
Appreciate the words chosen
which expresses the wise views, taught
a great lesson for all, focus
to help each needy on the spot.
