Football in Texas is like Basketball in the Hoosier State, For D.B. David Edwards in a game against Austin Westlake, A junior at San Antonio Madison a collision sealed his fate, Going for an interception was it early or just a little too late? His neck was broken as high school foes reached for the pass, A seasoned player it wasn’t the first, who thought it’d be his last, This is the game of football it’s not the war in a place called Iraq, The worst that could ever come of this is a contusion on your back. Occurring during a playoff game, November in the year of our Lord 2003, An offensive play happening many, many times before fans routinely see, Opposing quarterback scans the field then proceeds with a mighty heave, Come on Dave get up, what’s that, he can’t move this is hard to believe. A television director and producer in the stands was a man named Peter Berg, So moved by the incident he used his God given talent of writing some words, Now a weekly series on NBC about friends, family, coaches, kids who played, The pilot episode aired in 2006 not a commercial success but the critics raved. Maybe there wasn’t enough lying, back stabbing, cheating, going insane, Just some hard working teenagers scrambling, playing for love of the game, Sure there were dreams of attending the best college, a future with the pros, However, for this young man not even his parents, because only God knows. David Edwards had been stricken with pneumonia sometime late last year, The amount of suffering probably never drowned out by the rivers of tears, Not by the football player yet they’re shed by a multitude of helpless friends, From innocent courage of a soldier because his short lived season has to end. Slipping into an irreversible coma this Monday his life started to cease, Permanent residence in what is known as Methodist Hospital Northeast, It still took another two days before death could finally take him home, Although no longer of our world the bible assures he will never be alone. Saturday March 1st, 2008 the would be star is to become the age of 21, However, on Wednesday, February 27 clouds moved in covering up his Sun, Some might say darkness began over four years ago and it just isn’t right, The game like the television show must go on for, “Friday Night Lights.” Poems by Luke Easter

David's story really is an inspiration for all of us. The memory of his strength and courage will always remain in our heart. May he RIP. I hope there is a way that will take this message through to his parents, David was a wonderful child, a blessing. He is with God and he will always be in our hearts..... My thoughts and prayers are with you at this moment of grief. God bless.
