Extra Mile

We were friends in our college days, no distinction of our riches, Were all the same living our days. Of the four years, three passed, In the finals, few flunked in test, For the few, year lost till next test, No money for few, for next test. A friend, asked - fund needed, He said, you don't look very rich, But I know, your parents are rich, Help me, goes extra mile from rich, His smile never faded.

Jay, I liked your poem, but the rhyme pattern was off. Unfortunately, I had to place you at the bottom. Thanks for entering my contest. Charlie

Going the extra mile for education is a wonderful thing. Probably more important than almost anything I can think of Jay. A wonderful example of "going the extra mile" Best wishes my friend and BOL in the contest. SV
