Book of Wonders in Poetry

I’ve always observed my surroundings since I was a boy.
I noticed the wonders with a true sense of joy.
For some reason I remember much from the past.
Who would guess such memories would last.
There’s natural beauty wherever you go.
The most impressive are the parks I know.
I remember my engineering education plus what I’ve read.
Science is wonderful. This has to be said.
I think of all the progress humans have made.
We’ve just started. Can we make the grade?
This book follows the popular “Huckleberry Days”
The author’s poetic presentation of the good old ways,
“A Sampler of Uncommon Sense and Good Times,
Emotional Trips, Whimsy and More in Rhymes,”
“World War II, to the Greatest Generation
A Poetic History of the War’s Duration,”
And “Emotional Poems, How We Live and How We Die.
Some Will Make You Think, Others Will Make You Cry.”
