Our Children
Our children
By Franklin Price

Our children are our legacy
They are what we have raised
If they do well because of that
It is they who should be praised
We must give all we can to them
Not claim we did it all
For when they reach a certain point
It's for them to rise or fall
They either have the wherewithal
Or may fall a little short
It's theirs for them to do or not
The ball is in their court
Don't ruin being part of it
Trying to control just how they act
They're grown and they are on their own
With them you should make a pact
Support them every way you can
Not for any selfish need
Give because you love them
And help the tree grow from the seed
They'll always be your babies
But you have to let them go
Or you'll end up having nothing
From a child you don't even know
