remembering our favorite fort.
(for Grand Blanc, Hastings, and Los Angeles – #rccola)

Seeking adventure, some discovery;
Unknown losses, quick recovery.

Forging friends, tried and true,
some tires, junk, and treasures too.

Reflecting now on today’s priority,
years reveal a funny irony:

Building castles move us away,
but there’s always a stone or two that stay.

Always there, before and after,
echoing out another chapter.

Awaiting now four new Kings,
slowly budding newfound wings,

time for joys, fights, laughs, and screams,
flying about toward different dreams.
