No answers

No answers,
just proposals
we can offer our kids
on their road
to independence.

No answers
to their questions
for the meaning of life,
perhaps ideas
is what we
plant in their hearts.

But even if we'd give them
just a circle, its centre,
and a straight line
they'll create a world
from those elements.

A solid point
is all they need
to lift the earth
off its foundation.
We ought to be that point.
