Future in the making

Children are our future
And future teens make
Young make the present
Some islands the grey make

Time runs fast
Childhood is short
Teens in great hurry
Young in seat of power

Grey had their day
Young have their way
Teens wary of present
Nothing is the same

Things are different
Past not relevant
Expectations unlimited
And creations that baffle

Aged step on the treadmill
The young slog and sprint
Children catch up in wonder
A magnificent future is in the making!
