TIME INVESTED

A child romps across the lawn
Hair tousled by the breeze
Hear his laughter
His smile radiating
Gladdening the hearts of others
The happiness emitted from within

A young man standing tall
Wind ruffling his hair
Eyes wide searching
What does life hold in store
The world beckoning him
Luring him with promises of adventure

Obligations dwindle
The seed planted
His choices are his own
Realize his determination
Encourage his ambitions
His strength and smile from you
