Sifting through old memories
Piled high in the closet
Clumsey fingers stumble upon that perfect summer day
There you were perched atop the machine you slaved over
Even squinting in the muggy July sun
The pride was obvious
You wore a casual smile
But inside coursed the blood
Of a wild beast
Unleashed as soon as that flag dropped
Pedal mashed to the floor
The heat becomes more intense
Still you soar past the others
As easily as an eagle flies
"GO DADDY GO"
My cousins scream
Oh what a wonderous time that was
So full of laughter and innocence
Only a child has
Sifting through the memories
I found reason to smile
To laugh and celebrate his memory once again

A Dedication to my hero, Dion Kevin Parish the greatest uncle who ever lived

that was sweet and honorable of you to dedicate it to your uncle....that was real good.
