We Are Gold

Look for where you step
Careful not to crush a tender leaf
Haven’t reached full potential yet
What the earth has not yielded
Nourish and I will push through
Remember me once to be you
Let me have my chance to flower
Girls and boys that deserve to know
The power a journey
could have for us and
What we have in store

Seek us as an expedition
for treasure that is old
Temper and polish
Never to be under sold
If you got something to give
Let it live in me
I can be brilliant and bold
if you help me to be
I’m a seedling that if you teach
can grow wise like oak
Paint the streets until
They glitter, each
I am gold

Enter with me play grounds
Remove from stifling surroundings
Give me a place to dream
Where I can believe
a team for me belongs
If you promise to show me
how to lead
I can be strong
Marrow buffed and resilient
A mind waiting to peak
Reach me while it is long
and hopeful
Performing immeasurable feats
Run with me and watch as I
become whole
Add me to the equation and
you will behold
How precious is movement...
We are gold

Young seeds… you are appreciated
