My poet friend John Stevens was born on this great day,
While I wish John Many Happy Returns of 04th July today,
I wish the people of America - A Happy Independence Day!
Self and John are both born in the year 1943.
Though separated by land and sea, -
We both love to read and write poetry!

Presently I am composing in verse the 'Story of the Blues',
Which I hope to post on this Site this month end, hoping it
will be liked by you!
Unfortunately, I am unable to post the maps and the
photographs on this Poetry Site.
Nonetheless I do hope you will like my well researched
poem about the Blues, when posted on this Site!
BEST WISHES FOR JOHN STEVENS ON THIS DAY,
MAY MANY MORE BIRTHDAYS COME ON HIS WAY!
GOD BLESS!                   - Raj Nandy, New Delhi, 04 July 2019
