Here is the next installment of my poetry.

Home
Gone
For Chris.

I found out
He died today
He's gone and thrown
His life away


He felt he had
To leave the race
And now we will
Not see his face


I hope he's found
His lasting peace
While were left here
Stuck in our grief.

For The Tiger's Eye
For Brian
I had only known him, for just a little while 
he was kinda quiet, but he had an awesome smile.

He was a big brother, in this family that I have
I don’t know if he realized, all the love for him we had.

A way to go, a compliment, a kick their ass, a song,
A magic way to roll the dice the list can still go on.

He was a friend to brother and friend to all but few,
but Yankee was his favorite and that all of us knew.

From Spidey-Man to  hat-trick, hunting, fishing, trapping too,
there are so many memories for those of us who threw.

He will always be here held within our hearts,
but also he is up there getting hat-tricks with his darts.
