His suicide was a shocking surprise.
No one saw anything to suggest
he would kill himself.
He was a college athlete who
had excellent grades in college.
He seemed to have a great life
with nothing worrisome in it.
Yet on a sunny Spring day,
he drove to the Golden Gate
Bridge and jumped off it.
Perhaps he suffered from
chronic depression that he
hid so well no one saw it.
Whatever the reason he took
his life, it was a sad day for
those who knew and loved him.
And it’s tragic that approximately
2,000 people kill themselves
all over the world everyday.
