My Last Ride
In memory of Floyd "MONSTR" Patterson who took his last ride on October 18, 2007
My hands are clenched around chrome bars.
The engine's rumble sounds so sweet.
I twist the throttle with my palm,
The world slips by beneath my feet.
The slapping of my leathers
and raging wind on either side,
drum a beat of sweet contentment
as I ride this.......my last ride.
Alone on my tin pony,
to the heavens I've been called,
but fret not, my dear loved ones,
I'm not lonely here at all.
The landscape now is just a blur
as tears stream from my eyes.
My bike and I leap forward,
off into the calling skies.
I hope I touched your lives one day,
and left a treasured mark.
Now I ride off to FOREVER,
with your memory in my heart.
