Hidden Hope

The meaning is hidden now…

I know

But you do not long remain

A child

…and our hope

Is to raise

Not a child

But honorable,

Independent

Willing

Hard-working

Contributing

Adults

My dear,

The present is always

Vapor on our fingers

But the future depends

On it

The meaning is hidden now

But what you are learning

Is not for today

But for an eternity of

Tomorrows

Janet Martin

Dad, Mom, the future is in our hands...ever so briefly!
