Tribute to Dominic James

- – Saccheen Laing

Heaven gates opened wide When you made your way on the pitch one final time Leading by example you were a true role model Years of brilliant football skills to come We have no doubt that you would have been one of the best to come from Jamdung Not long after the whistle blew your life stopped too You were so young but so talented through and through A brilliant mind and a brilliant football style We have no words for those who knew you best But we do know you loved football even as you took your last breath From Jamaica College to St Georges College we salute you In life you captured the hearts of the football fraternity In death you captured the hearts of the entire Jamaican fraternity You weren’t here long but your memories will forever live on As your team moves forward your footprints and words of encouragem­ent they will never forget They knew you best! The late hours and sacrifices you did what you had to do Your final words were probably FOOTBALL I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
