Analysis of Wealth Beyond...
Richer than a platinum mountain,
more wealthy than a Sheik
The words I’m gifted lie bejeweled,
a fortune by their weight
No King or Titan, Earl endowed,
could match my treasured chest
Each word an ingot, phrase a bar
—my verse the Lord’s bequest
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
