WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN
by TD Euwaite

Where are the children,
Where’s my garden,
Please, I beg your pardon,
Turn your hooded face to me,
and give an explanation,

Where’s my wife
my true lover,
Where’s my son
and our two daughters,
Do not point a shriveled hand
and beckon me away,

I’ve got to finish my first novel
and the driveway needs fresh gravel,
How many of these reasons
do I need for you,

Go back to your dominion,
the tombstone shrouded minion,
You can’t take me out today,
There’s work enough for me to stay,

I’ve prayed for Heaven’s absolution,
Not this horrid retribution,
What can I do to earn another day
and reach a true conclusion!.

Being what the patrolmen call an aggressive driver, I will probably pick my time to go, and if hoodie dude gets in the way, I may just run him over to make my point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I beg your pardon
Nobody promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little whine sometime!.

Death be not proud
Maybe you can be a bit cocky
But that runs afoul of your anti-life attitude
Your lackluster terpitude
You're dull, not shiny
So bite my hiney
Your scythe is blunt
You're such a (insert four asterisks here please, I don't have the heart)Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is one of my favorites from 'Pavlov's Cat!.'

We have so many things, major and minor to do!. I believe if we were here for a thousand years it would not be long enough to 'reach a true conclusion!.' My own conclusion is that we have only this moment!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Time, how can I get hold of you!? I can catch nothing but the current moment which 'd become a Past in a second!. Tell me, has anyone lived the present!? has anyone lived the future!? Point out the lucky creature!

I'm still red about ur other poem, lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your children are not your children!.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself!.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you!.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts!.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams!.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you!.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday!.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth!.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far!.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable!.
