Children

They inherit the wind.
They inherit our souls.
They will believe in us.
They are us.

Why do we not cherish them?
Why do we not protect them?
Why do we not love them?
Why are they not...?

We are teachers.
We are leaders.
We are their hearts.
We are their beginning.

When do we stop?
When do we start?
When will we believe?
When do we...?

What do we do when...?
What do if they are left...?
What do we do when they are...?
What do we do when...?

Children bring us to the brink of our future.
Children bring us to understanding.
Children bring us to the mirror.
Children bring us home.
