Joseph

Sitting with Joseph 
playing video games 
he stated "Thats what 
I want to do when I get older"

talking about the jumps 
they made on the bikes
of the video game
a little dare devil waiting to grow

yet never do they have a plan
where do you get 
the money for the bike
perhaps you should 

train up to be a machanic
that way you'd have a wage 
to buy the bike
and have the knowledge 

to fix the bikes
Joseph was the type of kid
that was going to be successful
didn't really want to see him

as an Evel Knievel 
breaking legs and spines
I like to see him healthy 
as the years and time went by

Kids will have their dreams
but need plans to make them grow
connect with education 
and perhaps the seeds you sow
