Dream Catcher

You held on to amazing dreams that only you could see,
   and to a little sister you remained a mystery.
We grew up side by side it's true,
   but saw through different eyes.
You always seemed to know your path;
   life caught me by surprise.
And as the years passed quickly by,
   I learned a lot from you.
I watched your dreams unfold and bloom
   and knew that mine could too.
I hold within my memory the picture of a boy,
  who reached past ordinary
to a life of love and joy.
   I know it isn't often that I take the time to say,
you are a blessing to my life
   today and every day.
