I sit back and think <br />What do young ones really know? <br />How to be a mother <br />A friend who really knows <br />Then you meet a young person <br />With ideals and their dreams <br />And suddenly your face <br />With an adult not a kid <br />You know not their past <br />Of teething and games <br />That’s a life you have with your own <br /> <br />You look past the youthful <br />Way that they are <br />And let them be humans <br />And live life to the full <br />We use to be young <br />At one stage of our lives <br />What makes us different? <br />Is were older and wiser <br />So we like to think <br /> <br />So I say with a smile <br />To young adults of this world <br />I bow down low and say <br />Hello my friend <br />We may be much older <br />And wiser we think <br />But at times you surprise us <br />With love and wisdom <br />That is beyond all your years <br />And yes I bow and acknowledge you all <br />Simply because you’re our future <br />Leaders of tomorrow <br />Good luck to you all<br /><br />Kaila George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-sit-back-and-think/
