Bridge Generation

we heard our parents  
were afraid to deviate;
lost out own dreams fast.

Young ones of today
Grow up in virtual world;
our influence wanes.

we had listened then
we even tolerate now;
we a bridge age group. 

happy that our young
fly on the wings of their dreams;
compensate for ours.

yes, some parents sure do live their dreams thru the kids, sometimes at the kids' detriment. Congrats on your win!
