Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Couplet

Tears On the Wind

What Gods there were, I did not know then,
Had nothing to do with them in words plain.

But I know now when attacked by the dragon
Cancer which popularly known as Life Gone.

Threatening to take away my one talent to *speak
Causing to wreak my dear and near ones in shrieks.

I did not see HIM positively, but did come to cure
In the persona of an expert doctor to be sure,

Sending away all of our grief and tears on the wind
Giving years to be with grand-kids with peace of mind.

As the bonus points* to roam, to ramble and to rejoice
All over the globe meeting people of grace and choice.

                             +++++++
*Cancer of the vocal chords.   A true event of 1994

*The Roaming, The Rambling and The Rejoicing are the titles of Poetry
Books published after getting cured of the cancer.

                             +++++++
