SOME DAY

Some day you shall become an adult
Someone the world needs to cultivate
Its beauty, peace and creativity
Someone to lift the hope of the hopeless
To inspire the unbeliever and make the weak stronger

Someone to educate the uneducated
And love the unloved
To wipe away the tears of the ailing
And strengthen the hearts of the dying
To encourage those who are discouraged
Induce faith in the faithless
And peace to the troubled

Some day you shall become an adult
Someone the world needs to nurture
The minds of those left behind
Someone to ride the waves of truth and honesty
Ascend the consciousness of mediocrity
And share diversity among everybody

Some day you shall become an adult
An exceptional, pristine adult
That sees the world through the eyes of its maker
Someone entrusted to make a difference
And bridge the gap between the old and young
