Subject: Warriors of the Gridiron ( A POem)

Sometimes death has a way of inspiring me and making me remember a bit about those from the past.
I have read alot of books lately on Football
One of them being a book by the Late John Matuszak
called Cruisin with the Tooz, also some of the Raider Books I have read have mentioned Lyle Alzado
and hearing today about the Death of Sam Mills though he was never a Raider and the Death of Reggie White Recently made me remember some of those Football players, coaches, and Lifes Heroes taken from us too soon.
Watching Walter Paytons son Jarrett in NFL Europe playing the game. Made me remember him, and others Joe Delaney who died saving a kid from Drowning though he himself could not swim.
Brian Piccolo I am sure we have all heard of read, or seen Brians Song
Well this poem is for them



Warriors of the Gridiron

Warriors of the Gridiron

Taken from us far too soon. Some by injury
some feeling the Reapers Wraith far to early.
No matter what they will always be

remembered.
Warriors of the Gridiron
Heroes Thru and thru
We miss you and remember you.
You run to daylight and play the game on
Heavens Gridiron now.
And what a team you would be Brian Piccolo,
Walter Payton, Reggie White, Sam Mills are
some of the heroes who have been taken from
us way too soon. Others lingered too long
in the fastlane two I will always remember
Lyle Alzado and of course the Colorful Tooz.
For those who did not know of him his name
was John Matuszak. There were others
who were lost too early including Joe

Delaney, Derrick Thomas, and of course who
could forget Lombardi!!!.
Legends of the Gridiron
Warriors all taken from us way too soon.
You wil always be remembered in our hearts

and souls and each time we watch new legends
born on the Gridiron of Life and Football
We will think of you.
All Hail the Warriors of the Gridiron
