Last Ride

Through the darkness of life astride his horse of steel

His life his own, no matter how it made others feel

The lone rider rolls on mile after unpredictable mile

His only goal is at the end of his ride to see her smile

Numbness overtakes his arms because of his only goal

The ache in his back and neck he has learned to control

The length of this ride in no way matters in his mind

At the end he knows, her unconditional love he will find

A vision of her long black hair and beautiful eyes of green

Ride on through the darkness on your thundering machine

The rain so cold can’t make you give up on arriving there

You will be together with the girl with the long black hair

No one has observed this rider in black as he continues on

No one cares if he finds the one of which he was so fond

Love will drive him to ride toward her for an eternity or so

Death didn’t stop him, he drew his last breath three years ago
