Michael Vick holds candlelight vigil for the Guv'na

Atlanta Falcon's quarterback Michael Vick staged a candlelight vigil outside the Guv'na's hospital room upon Guv'na's arrival home Tuesday.

Vick, donned in a festive Santa Claus hat, offered his well-wishes for a speedy recovery. Vick's mother attended the event as well, and brought the Guv'na a bowl of her famous vegetable soup in an effort to lift Guv'na's spirits.

Guv'na was the victim of a failed assassination attempt by an assailant that has not been positively identified. Police apprehended a suspect in the D.C. area shooting, but formal charges have not yet been brought.

UPDATE:
Guv'na releases a statement from his hospital bed

As I Lay Recovering

Voices in my head
Talk of drugs
My data is like bread
Must rid it of bugs

My pipe, how I love thee
Take the smoke in all night
Curves down like a C
Hold with left or with right?

Departing, I, from this place
Gruff, smoky fellow I see
Men in dark, how they race
As a weapon comes free

Pinball in my sides
Reckoning of truth
High-wheeled bicycle rides
Days of my youth

No light, just white
Figures with knives and stitch
No argue, no fight
"Guvna, you have a glitch"

Lose me? I think not
Devil-fiend, go away
This carrion shall not rot
"Guvna, you will live another day"

Candy canes of light and air
My heads swims in stripes
A splendid job of repair
Never seen so many pipes

Forgiveness to AUA
Man of apples and grins
For as they say
"A Playa always wins"
