Dream in the Sand

It was a dream in the sand
as teenagers we wished
making dreams, bright plans
with every list.

I haven't seen you in years
but memories are vivid
how it was as youthful peers
growing up in the city.

We grew into men finally,
and parted ways
you a family- I chasing the wind
no two as friends yesterday.

It's hard to hear of your death,
and each moment I think
what is all but all with less
as everything may seem.

You are gone from family,
friends.. tears fall from eyes
but all will see you again
in heaven's own time.
