JUST LIKE THEM

by David Knape

We recall our folks
remember when
we said we'd never
be like them

Yet as years went by
as if by fate
we assumed those same
familiar traits

Little by little
we came to see
the more like them
we came to be

Now those odd habits
no longer offend
because we're finally
just like them.
