they look with eyes
that see beyond my vision
with hearts more open
with purpose more true
without the doubts
to weigh upon them
without the sorrow
heavy on their shoulders
without remorse
in their very bones
this is my hope
for these children
of the future
embracing a world
cleaner, brighter
elusive to me
I like your last line. Yes, an innocent, “cleaner, brighter” world does seem elusive to us as we age, doesn’t it. Wonderful poem!
Thank you.
