Generations Spread through the ages We became those whom we know Our parents, grandparents We move down the line We prepare our children to become us Our children prepare theirs to become them We catch a glimpse of the order for a spare thought and we lose it Caught in the turning sprockets of a bicycle on its way down the hill or up the hill depending on a given moment in time Your time Your point of view or Your generation 11:49pm Mother's Day 1999 R.
