What They Need To Be Them

You teach them You raise them You rear them and then You watch them You see them You hope they can fend For themselves In this place That you built then you lend Them the reins To this world With the hope they defend All your cares All your dreams All they won’t comprehend All your work All your fears All your hope they will spend All their time All there treasure All there is just to tend To the next To the new For the future lots end Just to be Just to have Just to live without them All in time Time for all Time to set a new trend But we don’t Or we can’t Or we won’t as we send Them our cares And our dreams And our fears till the end Based on love Based on pride With our will to intend All the best Life can be All they need to be them
