We celebrated you birthday,
Without you here.
We watched another
Fufill,
If only part
Your dream
We waited and questioned
Was this what you saw?

You had a dream
You climbed a hill
You saw a vision
We asked those that still carry you with them
Was this what you saw?

We wondered what you would answer
If you ... Read Morewitnessed,
This.
We watched you captured words
Shed silent tears
Some how we knew,
Some little piece of the milestone you set was met.
We knew you dreams…
Is this what you saw?

If not the whole then some, I guess.
We still feel the pain of you gone.
We have pictures and clips-memento
We have dreams of your own that we hold, as a whole.
Was this what you saw?

But we still wonder, prod, ponder, plead.
We still question, ask.
Has yours been fulfilled?
Is this what you saw?

We look for your answer,
We search the skies…
Silence.
