Silver and Gold


classy lassie I love…never  will I ask her hand in marriage, 
just poverty stricken Redneck boy…she would turn me down, 
though I have silver in stars above and gold in the morning sun!

Big congratulations, John on your first place in Adeleke Adeite's contest. Being poor is a struggle for many, but the wealthy ones don't have, or see " Silver in the stars and gold in the morning." It's very inspirational and moving. Thanks for your comments on my poetry. God bless you. Have a wonderful Sunday. Peace and Love, Andrew.
