A candle has been lit!
Upon the open road, your spirit did soar, With the rumble of engines, and Fireball you poured. A life lived in freedom, on two wheels of steel, With every twist and turn, your passion we'd feel. The nights were ablaze with laughter and cheer, A bottle of Fireball, your friends always near. Though the ride has ended, your memory stays, In the hearts of those who shared your days. So here's to the rider, the stories untold, With Fireball in hand, and a heart made of gold. May you find peace on that endless highway, In the wind and the stars, forever you'll stay.
