Lucky Summer

Nestled amidst the bustling heart of Nairobi’s vibrant soul,
Lies the Lucky Summer Estate, where stories unfold.
A patchwork of dreams and modest hopes,
This middle-class settlement, where life copes.

Like a mosaic of colors, mismatched and untamed,
Homes stand tall, though not quite the same.
Walls weathered by time’s gentle caress,
Each crack and crevice holding secrets, no less.

The streets wind and weave, with no rhyme or reason,
Paths meandering through each fleeting season.
Dusty footprints dance upon the earth,
Telling tales of resilience and humble birth.

Here, the sun paints the sky in vibrant hues,
Casting golden kisses on worn-out avenues.
Children play with laughter, barefoot and free,
Their giggles echoing through this community.

Yet, Lucky Summer bears its share of flaws,
With its flawsomeness, and all its open jaws.
The roofs, like weary sentinels, sag with the weight,
Of raindrops that sneak inside, challenging fate.

Potholes mark the roads, like craters on the moon,
Testing drivers’ skill to dodge and swoon.
But life moves forward, undeterred by such strife,
A dance of survival, in this maze called life.

Amidst the chaos, there’s a sense of unity,
Neighbors lending hands, forming a trinity.
Sharing stories and meals, an extended kin,
In this vibrant tapestry, they find solace within.

The spirit of resilience pervades the air,
Through each hardship faced with unwavering flair.
They bloom like wildflowers against all odds,
Defying limitations, embracing the demigods.

Lucky Summer Estate, imperfect but real,
A tapestry woven with both pain and zeal.
In its rough edges and imperfections lie,
The essence of a community that dares to try.

For in this humble settlement, there is grace,
Where dreams blossom and struggles embrace.
Lucky Summer, a flawed masterpiece, stands tall,
A testament to the human spirit’s enthralling call.
