IN LOVING MEMORY OF RALPH DALE EARNHARDT (1951-2001) We will always miss you. I will be adding a tribute to the greatest driver I have ever seen and I will work hard to remember the "Man In Black" This Page is Under Major Construction

Godspeed
by Annmarie Pascuzzi

You raced into our lives so quickly
and then, oh so suddenly,
you raced out again.
So much of your life you lived so fast.
Was is because you realized
how short it would be?
Noone had the chance to say goodbye,
but now our prayers go with you,
we who are left behind.
The race has not ended for you though,
one last finish line to cross,
into our Savior's hand...

A fine Daytona afternoon, the season just begun
My boy's were running 1 and 2 and I was having fun

I probably could have Won the thing but something held me back
I was busy watching Dale Jr and Mike and holding off the pack.

I was looking towards the front and not really the rear
Something tapped me on the bumper, but still I had no fear

I thought it might be Sterling. I knew that he was near by
When Sterling smells the checkered flag he's definitley not shy

I slipped a bit and turned the wheel, I sensed something odd
It wasn't Sterlings tap I felt, It was the tap of God

"Not now" I said, I'm racing hard theres still work to do!
"Your time is up." he whispered "So say a quick adieu."

I wasn't really ready but I didnt have a choice
He tapped me on the bumper and I heard his hallowed voice

Though I did as he instructed, I just packed it in and left
I guess it cannot be avoided that I left many of you bereft

Did you see the birds upon the wall as they scattered in the breeze?
Will it make it any easier to know that one of them was me?

It was Davey, Neil, Dad and I and other guys I've known
They came down to Daytona to escort show me the way home.

Congratulations Mikey, you ran a worthy run.
I wish you many many more, Your wins have just begun.

All the fun you had in Victory lane, I was proud as I could be.
Did you see that seagull flying low? Yeah Mikey, that was me.

Friends, fans and family, don't mourn me for to long
Get on with your lives, take care of things. Be brave and proud and strong.

I'll surely miss youevery one, about that I cannot lie.
But as long as you remember me, I really never will die!

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES CHAMP
