Kudos to the kids without phones Bored in their room, all alone Watching patterns on the wall As they become characters or dance to an old song Imagination can run marathons When ideas are nurtured to grow in the mind We cannot be poisoned by immediate gratification When glory is accumulated over great measures of time How can a painting unfold onto a black canvas? How is a story written from blank page and pen? How could a melody sing without calloused fingers? From eyes that are distracted amusing instant achievements Lucky are the parents who maintain awareness And breathe patience to turn the dial Being the keepers of tiny creators Who can be inspired so easily by dancing walls
