A Nugget Of Gold Poem by RIC BASTASA

congratulations my friend
for despite the anger of the past
here you are
entertaining an enemy
making him feel at home with you
serving him bread and coffee and
a good transportation for the night
to take him where he can stay
have a nice sleep and dream....

congratulations, you have lived
your faith
always being good despite their
indifferent and even devilish
attitudes.....

congratulations for you are unique
in the midst of mud you are still
a nugget of gold....
