Our offspring holds the future

The ideas are burnt into my mind

We have to bring our children up resilient and kind

Even when we see perfectly

Life calls on us

To be selectively blind

Wipe away pain with

Bittersweet tears spry

Worry about the unknown

Sucks our hopes dry

Raising future leaders

Is payback in sublime

For Dawn and her generation… you are born free and I am proud of you working hard for a better future.
