He made his debut in 2013,
defecting from Cuba
Wearing number 16,
He is the Epitome of chasing your dreams,
Jose Fernandez, a strikeout king,
A former rookie of the year,
Had the potential to be, legendary,
This is why so many grieve,
And Its so hard to believe,
That in just his 4th year in the big leagues,
He was k**ed in an accident on a boat,
But one thing we know,
Even though he lost his life before his prime,
His unique joy and pa**ion,
Left a forever lasting, legacy behind,
So to the Youth,
here is the truth,
In Life,
no matter what you do,
do it with pa**ion and joy,
Pick a career path,
Not just to please your mom and dad,
Pick one that makes you smile and laugh,
Like a little girl and boy,
So when you look back at the journey after however many years,
The legacy of your pa**ionate career,
Will also bring about heartfelt tears and cheers,
Because of your sheer,
Pa**ion and joy.
