She listens to the steady pitter pat
on what is another dark and dreary day
Even the dogs tire of nature's tears
too wet to go outside for walk and play
Jazz rings out in the background
hoping to soothe a dampened soul
Melancholy dripping like raindrops
pulling me down a endless hole
Wringing me dry of energy and joy
hopelessness winning this fight
Until a beacon of light breaks through the fog
and darkness gives way to Open Link Night

Week 118
The day will be forever etched in my mind
as news of your tragic death traveled
When I got the dreaded call that day
I fell to my knee's; My life unraveled
Who knew your adventure at the U.S. Open
would be the last day of your young life
You were only 27 with so much left to do
the loss so unexpected, it cut us like a knife
A thunderstorm came out of nowhere
golf spectator's started to flee
You and Scott headed for safety
thinking it would be best under a tree
You wore old worn out shoes that day
which made the hit more frightening
The energy traveled through the hole
your life cut short by lightening
