In those brief moments,
Jimmy
was happy,
On
top of the world.
He
had reached the pinnacle
Wales
in the World Cup Finals
United
in the European semis
Life
was good
Life
was very good indeed
Then
the news came
Of
a crash in the snow
And
suddenly
Life
wasn’t so good.
Information,
Patchy
at first
Trickled
in,
Not
all reliable
Miss
information
Spread
like the plague,
Then
the facts emerged
From
amongst the fictions
So
many dead
So
many lost
And
for the living
Life
would never be the same
Jimmy
blamed himself
For
being so smug
For
being so happy
For
being alive
