A promise of man See now, they gather! Yearning, learning Filled with hope, Promise and desire Our youth untainted! See now, they gather! Playing, dreaming Filled with endless Vision And impossible dreams Our future, unrestrained! See now, they gather! Creating, building Free thinking souls Our future dwellers Guardians of the human race "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

EagleOne~ Oh, what a fine tribute to the youth of the land. Hope-promise-desire ... those are three terrific traits. I've always been a youth supporter ... they do have visions to behold. With a little luck and a lot of dedication they will make this place a better one. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

very cool poem Eagle ... I like the message you intend here ... they indeed are the promise of the future you poem reminded me of a verse from an old favorite Jackson Browne song..... later-wise-down-under-gator Some of them were dreamers, some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Before the Deluge frome the cd Late From the Sky |

I take it that you were not at a Marilyn Manson show recently...(just kidding! *wink*) Seriously, I've a son that's just becoming a young man, and anybody who knows me, knows how proud I am of him...this poem made me feel like that...I thank you, Eagle!!! (He's really a terrific kid, and next time you have a few hours, I'll tell ya about him!!!) |

This carries in the lines a freedom almost like a butterfly lift! I thought it was inspirational. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
