Thinking of our children often brings me to tears
Because they have really changed over the years
From the way they handle their fears
To the way they associate with their peers
Some have become a product of their environment
While others feel they have a sense of entitlement
Not wanting to work hard to get ahead
But expecting everything to be given to them instead
This generation has a lot of growing and maturing to do
To prove they have what it takes to make it thru
And even though some may have gotten off to a bad start
Doesn’t mean they’re not capable and aren’t smart
Smart enough to step up, speak out and lead
Become the future leaders of tomorrow we desperately need
It means we, the community, have to help and do our part
Tell them we care and mean it with all our heart
Our Children… Our Future
