Rest in Peace (Tribute to Davide Astori)

in #poetry7 years ago

Thirty-one years back in a province of Bergamo
A cry from the city signified a new life
Growing up with the spirit of leadership, a game on
Determination stood strong, though the future was just a toll of dice

He was loved by many, adored by every
As he made the sport beautiful and humble in a world that is cunny
Italian by looks, human by heart
Our hearts lay darker as we just lost another light

You will forever be remembered not only in the city of Florence
But also in our peaceful hearts as we knew you not for violence
For we shall say to your little daughter Vittoria
That her father was a hero, leader and great like no other

We waited on a Sunday to witness another brilliant captaincy Davide
But it seemed God wanted you right in the city of Udinesse
As we will forever remember you and speak to the world of your story and glory
We also pray you rest in perfect peace Astori
