The sun rises in the west and sets in the east. NO?

But what about the clouds, and the air, and the birds that fly in the air?

What about our children?
We know where thy'll rise,
less not where they'll set.

But when they do set,
will they be proud of what they've done in this place?

It's all up to you.
Will you be proud of what you did in this place? So they could pick up where you left off?

Or will you stay with the mentality that being lost is that much closer to being found, When you do nothing to be found?

Or will you have the wisdom to remember?
That to pick up the harvest,you must first plant the seeds.
