Into The Woods

“Into The Woods”

Into the woods.

A child walks.

Sunlight falls upon the fallen leaves.

I wonder what they are thinking?

I wish that I could.

See into the feelings,

And into their thoughts.

The path looks so clear ahead.

But what are we leaving them?

What have we wrought?

When they are our age,

How will they think?

What will they think,

Of what we have done?

The path looks beautiful and clear.

Bountiful hope appears endless.

But we all know that it is not.

What have we wrought?

Into the woods.

Walk on innocent with hopes.

Because you should.

Leaving us to wonder,

If we all did,

All that we could.
