MARC'S MEMOS

8-24-2009

It is time for September’s Poetry Contest. I decided I would try again to enter a “Poem From The Heart.” My grandchildren are everything to me and even though life is wonderful for them now, I worry about their future. Growing up now poses more challenges, I think, than when I grew up. We had our problems, but perhaps there was more confidence in the future. Now, it seems there is much more uncertainty in just about everything. So I chose to enter my poem titled “SAVE THE FUTURE.” Here it is.

Sometimes I start to ponder
The future of my heirs
What kind of world we’ll leave them
And if anybody cares

I think about the little ones
The babies and the kids
Will they be able to resolve
Something that we did

I think about my grandson
And problems he will face
And future generations
Indeed, the human race

We’re running out of time, you know
We have to take a stand
We have to do a better job
To preserve and protect this land

I HOPE YOU LIKED IT. UNTIL NEXT TIME, TAKE CARE! MARC
