R-eal brilliance of his work was hardest to be lost,

Fragile hearts
For many years romance blossomed covertly
Robert was the man of Ami’s dreams. Sadly
Ami's parents had promised her hand to
Giurkiran and the arranged marriage was to take place in
India. Ami rebelled against her parents wishes, she
Loved Robert with all her heart so they
Eloped and married in secret.
Her parents immediately disowned her and
Even when Ami eventually gave birth to
Ajar their first grandchild, they refused to see them.
Realisation finally dawned and day after day Ami’s
Tears fell. Unable to cope with what she had done
She died of a broken heart.

A creature with one horn,
Is quite fierce enough.
But a creature with ten?
That’s incredible stuff!
The rhinoceros, true,
Is a force to behold.
But the Terrible Ten Horn,
Is terror untold.
Pull back the curtain,
A coin for a show.
A peek at the beast,
And what do ya know?
He sits on a couch,
Eating chips from a can?
He drives a Ford Ranger?
He’s the average man.
