GOODBYE DALE
We hang our heads in sorrow
as we finally start to believe
that this really happened
not just some trick of tomorrow
Dale Earnhardt is dead
can't seem to get that to register
I still think I'll see him
for he was a true thoroughbred
a man among men and smile ever present
a gentleman to all that knew him
a friend to those he challenged
I'm sure soon we'll see a monument
for a man that meant so much
to many that he knew first hand
and to those of us he never met
his car and him ...that would be a nice touch
with the racing angels may he rest
for he deserves a special place
to watch the races to come
and know that he was the best
Hi Renee A poem written from the heart, this is plain to see! A beautiful work that is penned down well. Roz :)

I understand your mourning and sadness, but I dont think it fair that dale should be treated like a God and then when other unknown racers who die as well do not get the same type of treatmeant as Dale did. I'm not saying his death isnt a tradgity sorry about the spelling but I just wish all the drivers deaths would be treated the same. No one wrote a poem about Andy petty. And what about those other three guys who died last year? Where there any national mourning for them? Like I said. I'm not insulting the memory of Dale but dont you think Dale would want those other guys to have the same treatment? I loved the poem though.
beautifully written. Sentiments I am sure would be shared by many.
very true thoughts of many at this time, you put it beautifully ... written from the heart :)
