Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

If It Ain'T Worth Remembering

Patches on the quilt of life,
letters sew not rend

Memory darning time to time,
future warmth depends

Words left tattered, words that bind,
 ragged breath portends

To stitch it once and have it last
—tomorrow on the mend

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
Inspired By Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Ronnie Van Zant
“If It Ain’t Worth Remembering, It Ain’t No Good”
