The Face of Tomorrow
Look at her,
smooth cheeks of youth,
innocent eyes, yet
farseeing, deep-seeing,
absorbing the lessons,
the living, the being
of life -- our lessons.
No teacher can sway her,
no obstacle delay her,
she will live in the joy,
remember the sorrow.
A blank page, upon which
we write tomorrow.
What, pray tell,
will she become?
Life lessons engulf her,
an oceanic spray of knowledge;
it seethes and boils,
charging and retreating,
endless repeating,
our everyday lives.
She sees it all. How
will she respond?
Lessons taught, lessons learned,
homework comes and goes;
amidst it all, unwavering eyes
are fixed on the ebb and flow
of the true model -- everyday life.
What, pray tell, will she become?
She will become as we are!

But when I look at the faces of my children I am amazed by their courage, their wisdom, and their...nobility... I only hope they will continue on in the same vein.

well written prose ...
She will become as we are!
Perhaps, Dallas; however, one can always hope she will turn out better in some way. Thank you for provoking thought. Love and peace,
