The Fall

The game a start Crowd was cheering Out on the field First down was nearing Thought he was fast Could rush past you You wrapped him up The last thing you knew You stood up, Lights went out to the Ground you fell No beat of your heart could they find A parents living hell For all of my living years Never such silence I’ve heard Everyone who saw Quietly waiting on word For you my dear Hamlin, The nation gathered around To feel close to you thoughts and prayers abound For that fatal moment You may never recall A nightmare for us As we saw it all I am a nurse, death not new to me What a site to behold was watching your team Not only yours but your rival you see They all gathered around An unspoken unity For you #3, we all had to worry All praying for good news Would come in a hurry For I too was a player amongst teams Much like you, blessed with my dream Not many will ever know That special bond And how it grows To die by the hands of what we love No greater gift bestowed from above Don’t misunderstand what I’m trying to say He already knew the 2nd wasn’t your day Just like the stars perfectly aligned For you a miracle, we all tried to find A team really mourning And the whole nation too No fussing no fighting The Updates were few A nation United that’s something new Damar Hamlin it was all for you
