Nephews

Two calls remembered very clear
words no uncle wants to hear
sad and anxious tones too near
don't know what to say

One climbed mountains all alone
reached the top last light was shone
found in spring at lower zone
far so far away

One lived with parents loved so dear
lots of work but always cheer
special friends without a fear
life was washed away

Electric cars and generous sun
sailing boarding camping run
always striving never done
work was always play

Tandem bike and archer's bow
songs and rhymes he told you so
trains gave him a special glow
colors mixed with gray

Sisters teased but filled with pride
always liked him by their side
such a hole and still so wide
think they'll be OK

Parents lost without their boy
every season memories toy
precious was and is the joy
each and every day
