The Next Generation

They are the future, of this earth,
They have reached the light, their birth,
Future will surely be able to gauge,
How they will progress with age,
They are the future.
With time they shall grow, as will their girth,
Their advancement will determine their worth,
After we die, they will write the next page,
With our generation gone, they will take the stage,
It lies with them, for on this earth,
They are the future.
