This is not about
What I alone
Can give to you  

This is about
What you do
With the gifts
I am offering

Living beings
Choose to live

Our parents
Sustain us

What do we give
In return?

Parent child
Parent child
Which is which?

When do we change
From one to another?

The hand that takes
Becomes the hand that gives

From receiving  
To giving
To sustain
A life

If no one
Gives
Who can grow
From child to parent?

If no one receives
Who can learn
To be a parent?

Giving receiving
Growing growing

Receiving giving
Forever
Growing

This is a world
Of children
And parents

Let the children
Be children

And let the parents
Be parents
