Architect of a Generation

I was given inspiration From an unexpected source The setting of an old wares store Proved the unlikely resource A woman spoke to me of children Of advise given by her mum Passed to her many years ago At the birth of her new born son She proceeded to explain Though her mum was not profound That those words offered early For her life she was bound ... "A child's not property A child you cannot own Although you'll spend years creating It more a kind of loan" "A child's like a building Your job is to build the base They will build the structure That's offered to the human race" So as the architect of a generation Ensure the supports are sound For within another thirty years Their turn will come around.
