April 9, 2018, Prescott-
Your bright spirits
keep reminding me
of when my beautiful classmates
and my loyal mates
would bounce in and out
of my consciousness.
That was fifty years ago
and the world just kept
on spinning.
You are inheriting
a world,
in which some
of us elders
will ignore you.
Even older Millennials
in positions of power,
turn a blind eye
and a deaf ear
to your entreaties.
They seek to be
what they think
their elders to be.
You, ladies,
be yourselves,
and take the full measure
of your strengths.
You, gentlemen,
share the limelight,
and see the women
beside you,
as equal allies.
I choose to believe
that you have
the wherewithal
to establish what
we who came before
did not.
Inured to your setbacks,
ready to throw off
the shackles,
you will see the sunlight.
I am close by
and still ready to help.
Love it! Great writing! God bless you!
