Can they see this,
revelation, epiphany;
How do they really
understand,
concepts that I would never
have grasped
at their age, I am sure,
able to see the
meaning of the acts, the
gravity of the
coming day, in all our
lives.
Where did they gain this
insight,
this purpose, this clarity
of vision?
Why am I so surprised by
their joy,
their sharing of the wonder
of the moment.
Who do I want them to be, to
become
in their own right.
When will I believe it is
real
that it is more than an
illusion,
maybe when the shutter
flashes
and the moment in its
finality
is preserved forever, on the
emulsion
on the sands of time.
