VARIATION OF A DREAM COME TRUE

What can I give to those yet to be born
But the words I have now
Cherish
Respect
Treasure
Those are words I would send on to them
Wishing I could live several lifetimes
To cradle the babies
To dry the tears of heartache
They are words that came to me
From the grandmothers who lived before me
They are the words to buffer our spirits
Against the harsher realities in life
The words we walk the meaning to
Whispering them to one another
At just the right moments
Assuring the continuation
Of the sanity of love
No matter what occurs
From one generation to another
Cherish
Respect
Treasure
