Gone But Not Forgotten

It is with a sad
And heavy heart
That I post tonight.
A bond and friendship of two years
Came to a bitter end tonight.
That’s right.
Death hath reared his ugly untimely head.
My poor soccer cleats saw their last game tonight.
Midgame the right cleat started to blow out.
I did what I could to fix him.
Tape and love
I gave him both
But I’m no doctor
And the wound was too great.
He fell before halftime.
Then during the second half
The left cleat
Apparently couldn’t bear to go on any longer.
Mourning the loss of his brother
He didn’t have the strength to carry on either.
He too blew out.
My two faithful friends,
My kinsman,
Hideously mangled and gone in one brief moment.
My heart aches.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow at noon.
Punch and pie will be served.
Please dress accordingly.

May angels lead you in,
Hear you me my friends…
