They Are Formidable

Their eyes are sparkling eager bright.
Their brains sharp and poignant. 
They know more than I have forgotten.
Their imaginations are surpassed only by their idealism.
They are ready to fix the world. Inspire world peace. 
Take garbage out of the oceans. They are formidable.
An army of purity, and spiritual grace and goodness.
They are the children.
If we were wise we would listen.
They are the closest to God.
Still hearing what we need to do to save humanity and our planet.
Sh!
Listen….

Thank you Line. This was one of those that flowed fast and hard, as this is how I feel about children.
