Heritage - a poem


The glue that
holds together
with resilience of wisdom
Forever present - the heritage


The old not
appreciated always
the invaluable antiques
Forever new - the heritage



Infused in tradition
open to new
with roots in time
Forever cool - the heritage

The celebration
of what was
The beauty of what is
Forever joyful - the heritage

    Musical with it's refrain! I love the image of it as a plant rooted in time growing with what's new.

      Heritage is the indiscernible contributor to our being what we are...

      Thanks a lot.
      I can't decide which stanza I like more, though - I think, with time, I will be able to read these words a little practically :)

    Ignore the past at our peril.

      I completely agree, but it usually it takes years to finally realize this.

    I think the older one gets, the more they appreciate antiques and such.
