Howard Kerr Poet Rhyme

Bound To Thrive

Here on invigorating  fresh lovely day,
one can lazily  saunter along the way,
through each winding street so alive,
where the heart’s bound to thrive,
each. and. every person that I  meet,
is  quite friendly, warm, and sweet,
throngs in cafe with  trademark verve,
plot some schedule, sway and swerve,
in my role as that astute observer,
I absorb prevailing charm and  fervour,
paths, pavements, highways, parks,
they compel instant recall of amusement,
from impish childhood and boisterous larks,
forever etched and somehow fondly linked to,
 evolution of historic town’s bemusement,
 never ever  shied away from embracing anew,
preservation that monument forever to the fore,
past and present composite of lasting merit,
world so truly modern, vintage world of yore,
impetus for our  future offspring to inherit

Sara Kendrick March 9, 2026 at 5:58 AM Is what they are going to inherit better than what we inherited? I wonder what the future holds for them in this war-torn world. Thank you for sharing this one which made me think about the future of our youth.
