Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

This Is the Day the Lord Gave

I did not know then what gods there were
And was never concerned or thought about
But I do know for certain now
He can come to us to any form.

I had been attacked by the dragon “cancer”
Threatening to take away *my talent to speak.
I heard his voice, “Come unto me and rest”
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy
Head upon my lap, don’t be sad or downcast”.

I did not see him positively in any of his form
But I did feel him in a divine way never felt before.
He came to me as a doctor diagnosing earlier
Giving many years to live and roam the world over
To see and to play with my grand children 
As if that’s not all, shortly with great grand children.

That was the day He gave me the perfect health
And relief from suffering, turmoil and labor.

*•	Cancer of the Vocal Chords ( in 1994)

Verlena S. Walker January 31, 2015 at 2:16 AM Hello Ram or should say Dr. Ram. This poem was highly favored. I adorn you with high marks; therefore, 2nd place you are. "I did not saw him positively in any of his form..." (should be) "I did not see him positively in any of his form..." Congratulations! Sending you a smile and a hug, Verlena Dr.Ram Mehta January 31, 2015 at 3:55 AM Thanks,Verlena. Call me by any name. But still I will be Ram. Thanks for pointing out the mistake
