To the rise of Raiden Our Grandson

You were born in the age of Anthropocene In the year two thousand nineteen In time to change Old Sapiens ways Wiping away world’s scars and malaise Of years gone by.

Exciting times await your call, Mom n’ Pop know it all Swimming bikes running mountain roads to recall Walking on sunshine ‘long dark desert roads Spokes and Sporks regale their tale that unfolds Your rise.

It’s your world now and there’s no hesitating Tools to use those apps downloading Calculating numbers show you the way Values from which you’ll not stray Steadfast in the abrade.

Follow your heart and what’s in your soul Weather the storms on the way to your goal They come and go so you’re wiser, you know Like the people you’ll meet and bestow Your friendship.

Wise in your ways and never judgmental Helping others reach their potential With tolerant empathy, musical and artistic In water, truly optimistic You’re Pisces, our friend.

Climate changes are coming your way All you’ll see, all you do, find something new Nimbuses thunder and lightenings spiral It’s oh so frightening, going viral Those emissions.

Yearning higher learning’s not all a piece of cake A journey through imagination for Figment’s sake Lifelong readings, love of words will be your wishing well And there’s no ending bell Ringing full stop.

These are the things that may fill your days Of course you’ll go your own ways Building blocks Against the clocks In time to Rise and Shine.
