Generation

Another dawn light awakens me
to face another day.
To live my life and learn from it
in every single way.
But the children are the ones who hold tomorrow
in hopes and dreams and tears.
The world depends on children
to overcome its fears.
Although they may want to hide away
hoping that tomorrow may not come.
And anything the past has hurt
has already been done.
No changing of the present,
the past has all but gone.
We only have the future
to overcome as one.
And if tomorrow brings no luck,
never give up our formation.
For they are the children, they can learn,
They are the new hope and generation.
