Four friends

In close proximity of each other,
lived four friends, who grew up together.
One of them was a girl and three were boys,
Together they would shed tears and unitedly they played with joys.

Ricky loved the birds, the trees and the open skies,
Nik would think everything can be bought for a price.
Sheena was a fantasy child, gifted with brains,
Andy thought life runs as easily as electric trains.

Andy once found a crystal ball on the street,
ran home with a grin, much to the amusement of Nik.
Sheena was curious to see the future,
Ricky was concerned about the fate of the nature

Andy was seen alone whiling away his time on the sand
Sheena was studying abroad in a far off land,
Nik was a millionaire, playing with money,
Ricky was alone in a state of mind, rather gloomy.

They all sat together and looked inside,
Shattered were all of them to see that site.
They all cried in the arms of each other,
Perhaps, that was the last thing they did together.
