The Price of College

We spent thousands of dollars On our children’s education Friends advised that we send them to State colleges Less expensive they said Not as prestigious we replied. After spending money, time and energy We have little to brag about Our children, Young adults now, Part of a lost generation, Have come back home Desperate about their futures Unable to find jobs. There are moments when We feel that we Have failed them But our children are tougher than we think They do their part They network They are computer savvy They know they must start In jobs lower than expected After all Wasn’t it said Generations ago That without a future There can be no tomorrow?
