1 He was
young, strong and brave, the virus could care less.
·2 One summer
she was happy and healthy. Something was said. The next summer she was skinny
and sad.
3 He builds her
up, strong and proud. Only to break her down, weak and small.
4 They said you
could do anything but shot down your wildest dreams, now get back to the office
5 Is the love
gone? The bullet left the barrel, no time for second guessing.
6 Who doesn’t
want to get lost? That’s what I was thinking when I left, now I’m not so sure.
7 Everything is
spotless, scrubbed clean. The only evidence was a small drop of blood left on
the floor.
8 “Come on” he
said “what could go wrong?” he never could have predicted the destruction of
everything he loved.
9 Her eyes lit
up with joy. He never saw his best friend come in the door behind him.
10 She was
nervous because being lonely was all she knew how to do. He was going to change
that
11 The light danced on the water almost like the fight never happened but it did and now you will never see him again
12 “Adventure is waiting” she whispered taking
your hand and leading you into the forest, “we just need to find it.”
13 Think about the way it felt holding her, the way she fit right in the
bend of your elbow, while she is in front of you requesting the keys.
14 It’s hard
watching, possibly your only friend in the world go from a healthy human being
to nothing at all.
15 Each bead
was a person, each color, a method, each string, a country. a cold blooded way
to keep track of the dead
16 You forgot
your ring when you left; I wear it close to my heart. A hidden love just like
me.
17 I’m
watching the country pass in a blur wondering why you said no.
18 The strong
soldier stood, one tear falling from his left eye.
19 “I promised
I’d do anything for you, I’m just following through” he whispered to himself
20 BANG the
sound was deafening but with that his tears fell to the ground with the rest of
his limp body.
21 When his
wife came to see the last place he stood she was awestruck
22 Amidst the
muddy plane there grew one single rose
23 It was the
most beautiful rose, fresh with dew mimicking the tears of a soldier.
24 When
she smelled the rose it was sweet, with
a musk much like that of the soldier
25 Ironic
since, it was the soldiers tears that allowed it to grow.
26 Ten years
later the plane was turned into the most beautiful garden, but the rose bush in
the middle was the most magnificent plant in the garden.
27 He was on a
crazy break away, everyone was cheering when someone hit him from behind. The
hit that changed his life.
28 He woke up
in a hospital bed unable to move his feet and in incredible pain. The taste of blood in his mouth
29 It felt
like his life was over, no more hockey and no high school diploma left him with
a bleak future and a severe case of depression
30 Someone
suggested coaching and he realized life wasn’t over; he could coach others to
greatness.
31 Ten years later he went back to find the guy
that hit him, to thank him for the opportunity to coach all the way to the
Stanley Cup.
