Each Step is 27

Interception
Crazy Crowd
Blue and Orange
everywhere
Each step at a time
another yard
leading touchdown

Victory dance
victory cheer
victory game

New Years
on its way
Celebration countdown
five, four, three, two, one
Happy New Year

Love passes through the room
yet they have to go
Inside the white limo
an intruder enters

There he lays
our beloved
27
Mile High's tears
spread around

Invesco Field
filled with sorrow
candlelights bright
blue and orange
shone

Almost two years passed
our guardian angel
always there

There we are
Each step at a time

The author's comments:
I am a huge Denver Broncos' fan, so this poem was written to dedicate Darrent Williams. He was an outstanding defensive player for the Denver Broncos. In 2007, he died from a gunshot. The most devastating part was he only celebrated 2 or 3 hours for the New Year. He will forever be missed for the Denver Broncos and the Mile High.
