The Dream

Running with my team I look off to the right And what I see Is an inspiring sight. Two months ago During Christmas break Drugs were the first thing he'd do When he'd wake. I opened my heart And gave him my time But the parties were blinding And he missed all the signs. I tried to change What he was trying to be But he was troubled and cold And just couldn't see. Seeing him in the hallways Was painful as ever And his partying habits Still, no one could sever. Time would only tell If he would change or not Though the very thought of it Makes me feel lonely and distraught. But on that day When I was running my lap What I saw then and there I suppressed my want to clap. For he was in shape And swinging his bat Every movement, every technique He knew where he was at. The passion in his eyes Suddenly made me remember Exactly what I saw in him That past December. It's a shame now since I've finally moved on No doubt his place in my heart Will be weighing a ton. He goes through his day Looking for the unseen seam Maybe someday he'll find That the answer is right in his dream.
