For The Children - Gary Snyder

[Larry Robinson]

For The Children


The rising hills, the slopes
of statistics
lie before us.
the steep climb
of everything, going up
up, as we all
go down.

In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.

To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:

stay together
learn the flowers
go light
