It's that moment before dawn

When the children will wake up

and plung into a new day

it's a time to learn a lesson from their zest for life

their hunger for the breath of life

and living.

Their energy is immense, an inspirartion.

As they, dismiss set backs,

seem to rebound, their voices resound,

with a thirst for knowledge and a curiosity,

that's curiously unsatisfied.

We witness as the sun rise,

the dawn of futures lives,

the heros and heroins of everything

for which we've strived.

We recall our history,

and we smile a relieved smile

For all our dreams,

live in future lives.
