Analysis of Blood-Red Ruby



You're  precious and valuable to me alone, you're my  Blood-Red Ruby and
Stone

We have wandered  near and far living a lifetime searching the world over for a bone

Bone of my bone and the flesh was mended.
Our paths merged alone the way and our agendas were amended

One path is ours now and we no longer wander and quander

You're worth more than Rubies;  I've locked your love in my heart and  I've swallowed the keys

You’re more precious than Blood-Red Rubies to me

King James Version

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

King James Version

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Kevin Anderson

From ghetto fabulous to military standards with customs and courtesies. The Path taken in life from the United States of America to far and distant lands has indubitably exposed me bare. The adventure has made the person; the man. Born in Illinois, raised in East St. Louis and Royal Lakes, from there the fam hightailed it to California. Dallied in Inglewood then Bompton or Compton, some do say. Signed my name on the dotted line bringing the world into full view. I joined the United States Air Force in 1986, fully retired in 2016, 30 years of honorable service and of making life do what it does so I can do what I do when I do what I do communicating my thoughts or a few. more…
