the night the music died 🥀

6️⃣ – 1️⃣1️⃣ -2️⃣5️⃣
A month away to the anniversary
of that fatal night!

I had forgotten how it sounded, the
lullabies of a mother’s song
I am still searching for the keys
to my broken heart 💔

My Mama always use to say
7️⃣7️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ was a lucky number
Why she called it lucky
I wasn’t sure cause all those
nights she went into those
buildings with flashing lights
she never did win but she
always kept going back
Her favorite game was
called ‘Craps’
A roll of dice
called ’21’
(excuse the slang)
But it smelled like crap!
I wondered why a game
would be called that
Its a spinoff of a French game
called ‘Toad’
This makes
perfect sense, since Mama
settled us in smelly shacks
where snakes, spiders and
toads hung out

Well, you never know what
life is going to throw at yah!
Like Forrest Gump said
“My Mama called life, like
a box of chocolates, you
never know what flavor your
gonna get till you bite into it.”

But the roll of dice was not
sweet that night on
7️⃣ -7️⃣ – 1️⃣1️⃣
The night the music died!
