“Gone Racing” is a memorial poem by David Ritter honoring those who loved the thrill of the track, the roar of engines, and the joy of leading the pack. With images of streets of gold, Heaven’s Gates, and cheering crowds, it offers comfort and hope for reunion.
Gone Racing
Don’t cry for me, I still race free,
on a track in a majestic place,
never in back, leading the pack,
a priceless gift of God’s grace.
I’ll remain bold, on these streets of gold,
racing to the checkered flag,
and I still smile, when I think of the miles,
down our old hometown drag.
And when your journey ends, I’ll see you again,
inside Heaven’s Gates,
and we’ll laugh awhile and go race for miles,
but for now, we’ll have to wait.
When you do get here, listen for cheers,
for the one others are chasing,
along Heaven’s shore, where engines roar,
and smile, for I’ve gone racing.
