Along a Stream

They sat along a stream today

Letting worries wash away

Without a word said betwixt the two

They nonetheless enjoyed the view

As close as two boys could be

They lied entranced by this small sea

Wondering on futures not yet

Allowing for failures just met

Though one of color and another not

There was no difference you could spot

With exploring eyes and scrabbled smiles

They watched the flowing liquid miles

Without a word spoken to another

They found a world for just two brothers

At the table
