The Missing Teammate

• It's almost time to take the field, a new game will begin.
• Something today is not quite right, but it's still not sunken in.
• I look towards your locker, everything seems the same.
• You're uniform is hanging, ready for the game.
• But as I look around me, there is silence all around.
• Today DK's not coming, I stare down at the ground.
• I know the tears are coming, I'm not ashamed to cry.
• Dear God I have to ask you, Why did you make my friend die?
• He was still only 33, A husband, dad, and friend.
• He had so much to live for, Why did it have to end?
• Through my tears I wonder, Is this all a dream?
• Then the answer comes to me, God wanted you on his team.
• Although I'll always miss you, there's no more need to cry.
• I know your pitching big league, for the Cardinals in the sky.
