The Summer of ‘49

Cassie58

a claustrophobic journey in 

a packed coach of day trippers 

 

finds sweethearts posed for a 

snapshot moment on Southend pier 

 

the heat of  a burnished summer sun 

not lost in Kodak  monochrome 

 

he with his sweater over a shoulder

casual in white open collared cotton 

 

she with away day hair tousled and fair 

a radiant smile focused on his eyes 

 

she has found her ever after with a 

penniless uni student of physics 

 

he has found his soul mate and a 

mother to a future brood of happy 

 

theirs was a match made in the stars

foundations of a home built to last
