Generations



There's little boys,
And little girls,
That has the cutest,
Little curls.

Through the years,
As they age again and again,
They mature,
Into young ladies and men.

Like so many,
Before them,
They will marry,
And another generation will begin.

This is how it is,
For us all,
Come summer spring,
Winter or fall.
