Casey

One Year later... Your still not forgetten

Like a Flower

Always beautiful and unique;

Like a Tree

Forever growing;

It comes and goes

With the current;

Each page

Turning to the next;

It stops suddenly

Like the wind;

Life is never

What you expect

It to be;

You will never be forgotten

You will forever live on

in the heart of football;

Author's Note

I wrote this for a friend I who died one year ago today from a staph infection... We All Miss You Casey. Also for the last line, He was a star football player, and football was the town's life, since it was a small town where we come from.

You've planted a metaphoric tree in his honor. Everytime you or anyone who knows him reads this, they will be reminded of his soaring spirit. Phenominal job here this is a beautiful tribute.

Staff is so dangerous and people don't even realize it. Wrestlers and Football players die every year from something preventable. It's a tragedy

[Norma M Sutton]
