Notes About The Poem

alternate version of my poem WISH YOU WERE HERE ~ this version is more obvious that I am referring to my brother and how we drifted apart with passing years

Remember When

Life sent us on different paths
Miles and more between us
Different circles different worlds
With time we grew apart

Life experiences incompatible
We simply no longer can relate
Less than nothing left to talk about
Yet I can’t help think back to childhood

When brother and sister we’d hang out
We’d sit and overlook the world
Dreaming up adventuresome escapades
We had so much more in common

Our love for running free
What else could possibly matter
When connecting at our inner core
At times I miss you so that I would ache

Like now when I’m on vacation 
Feeling like I’m in a paradise
And there’s so much to explore
I wish so that you were here

This touched my heart, I too am distant from a sibling, so much water has went under that bridge to ever go back to the innocent times. if only we could go back and redo.....
