Cruising Forward

In memory of the many miles we spent together, on two wheels, on the road. 

Cruising Forward
By Franklin Price
1/28/2022

As I am moving forward
You're still with me on the ride
We're cruising down the highway
On our Harleys side by side

The wind is blowing through your hair
Sun has tanned your lovely face
In leathers red, you pull ahead
To prepare for me a place

The fringes on your coat and chaps
Are waving in the air
You look back, and smile at me
I still know you really care 

Your hand twists on the throttle
As you shift a higher gear
My eyes are dampened by the breeze
As you quickly disappear

Then I hear a noise behind me
It's the rumble of your bike
You fall in right beside me
In the place that we both like

Your spirit still rides with me
Though you're with God in the sky
The road ahead is waiting
“See you later, not goodbye”
