Have you ever seen a Harley fly?

I was just just reflecting on old biker friends that I have lost.
I wrote this back in Dec 2003. When Lee Box was killed by an 18 wheel rig that failed to yield the right of way.
A few years later, My friend Chuck Dodson lost his struggle with cancer.
If any of you need some words to speak over your friend(s) then I would be honored that you use this poem.

To My good friends Lee and Chuck. RIP

Have you ever seen a Harley fly?

You may have seen a house fly
You may have seen a horse fly
You may even have seen a fish fly
Have you ever seen a Harley Fly

Late that night we said goodbye
We looked up into heaven’s sky
I could have sworn I saw a Harley fly

I heard the rumble and saw the flames
To God and us you did proclaim
The pipes were ringing
The angels singing

No, my eyes did not deceive
I saw the Earth your Harley leave
Goodbye my friend you’re Heaven bound.
To God you go we heard the sound

As I began to cry
I couldn’t help to ask why
With a heavy sigh
I said goodbye

I saw a Harley fly.

I'm not big on poetry but that is a great poem. I hope I never have to read it for anybody. Thanks for sharing it with us.
 
There were a few people who came to mind when I read this.One I knew personally, and the other was a member of this forum. I never knew him personally. I only read his post & replies but after a while, in a way, you feel like you knew him.
 
Very nice...you are a poet & good friend to those who are now holding tickets on the upper deck.
