Hey, it's Kelly, and at the end of every week, I like to share something true and useful,

something I stumbled over that gave me a burst of optimism, something you can share with

friends like an audio greeting card, something to help us all keep our eyes on what's working

and what could be.

So, I'll be right back with this week's For The Good of the Order.

This is Kelly Corgan Wonders.

Hi, guys.

For this week's For The Good of the Order, I'm thinking about the power of this young generation

that we're going to be talking about on the next couple of podcasts.

So we went around the country and we found these kids who have that magical equality that

young people sometimes have, and it caused me to look back in time and think about who

really was behind something like the Civil Rights Movement or gay marriage.

These two huge social achievements that took decades of work to tip, and I'm sure you can

imagine why I'm thinking these thoughts right around now.

But it reminded me of this really kind of hilarious Billy Collins poem that I wanted

to share with you.

Billy Collins was the poet laureate for a while of the United States, and he and I have

done a few things together over the years.

And he writes some pretty delightful, super accessible and totally poignant poetry that I have

loved.

And this one is just in case as you're listening to the weekly pads about these incredible

teens, you're wondering like, what happened on my kid?
