I just had to share this with you all...Steve was a biker and I found this the other day online, and it really hit home. Since I found it, Steve's friends have put it on a plaque so I wanted to share a little of what my husband was and still is~~~ I hope this is not inappropriate or hurtful to anyone.



Memories of You

Each night I sit and listen
For that distant rumbling roar.
As the dog went to the window
When you rode up to our door.
As you stood in the shadows
With your colours wet with rain.
To once more see your smile again
Would surely take away this pain.
But the garage now stands empty
Just an oil pool stain on the floor.
No more parties on the lawn
No beer cans by the door.
No music laughter is all gone
Yet still those friends remain.
They ride by now , but seldom call
They know not what to say.
To once more ride behind you
Would be a dream come true.
But dreams are for the bedroom now
My memories of you.

    CHris--thanks for
    CHris--thanks for sharing...it's funny how we are all real life strangers for the most part, but csn friends. These kinds of things make it happen---we see the personalities and humanities in each person! I love this poem, bittersweet, but I have to smile--I am picturing him riding in heaven--smiling, healthy, waving to everyone and at peace.

    I pray the laughter for you will return in time..

    Thats funny you say that you see him riding in heaven...he said to bad the bike is metal and wont melt, cause if it would it would go in the urn with me! Ironiclly, his ashes are in an actual motor cycle motor that someone built for him. It's quite the sight. As soon as I have a good picture I will post it!
