Room to Grow

Impressionable minds, eager to learn

Or maybe just millions to earn

Or both as it may be

A collective opportunity

Push the wheels of progress

Change unnatural congress

It is youthful energy needed

For the future to be seeded

And yet there is the past

Wisdom’s at half-mast

For the ones that gave

For those they save

To those we’ll remember

Even in their December

Gifted us at least this day

Hope, in sense of a ray

All is connected as one

A stream never undone

A flow, turbulent at times

Of endless sounding rhymes

March on to legacy

Do it all in harmony

For with no spring

Colors of fall never sing

It all is one in the same

Part of the life game

And what came first

The wisdom or the thirst

It matters not to me

Or if you even believe

But that you should know

That you ever have room to grow
