He Rides Above the Clouds

[Dedicated to the Memory of Chad DeLoy]

He rides above the clouds with no shadow, 
Through the peaceful land of eternal sleep, 
With all of his fellow bikers in tow.

Always keeping an eye on those below, 
May all who have known him no longer weep —
He rides above the clouds with no shadow.

Moving swiftly, forever on the go —
Rising above hills, no matter how steep, 
With all of his fellow bikers in tow.

He treasures your friendship more than you know; 
May his company you forever keep —
He rides above the clouds with no shadow.

The sun reflects brightly off his window —
Through Lexington, the motorcycles sweep, 
With all of his fellow bikers in tow.

He watches you all riding in a row, 
Holding your memories of him so deep.
He rides above the clouds with no shadow, 
With all of his fellow bikers in tow.
