FANS' MEMORIES OF DALE EARNHARDT | Home

Comments about Barb Kerr's poem: This was so beautiful and I couldn't agree with you more. It made me cry all over again. It's been weeks and

I still think daily of Dale and what his family must be going thru. -Michele

She is our First Lady, the one we hold so dear

We wish that we could hug her, and wipe away her tear

So hard to try and be strong, with such a heavy heart

To try and pick up pieces, of a life that's torn apart

They didn't even give her, time to deal with the pain

Instead they made her have to fight, to protect his name

Standing beside her, are family, fans and friends

Never once wavering, steadfast till the end

Going the distance, for the one we love

Dale is seeing all of this, from Heaven up above

I can see his anger, at those hurting those he loves

He'll be a vengeful angel, not a peaceful dove

Heaven's Intimidator, lightening flasing in his eyes

With the roar of thunder, comes his battle cry

He has given many signs, that his presence is still here

Those who have wronged him, should be quaking with fear

A Battle is wageing, between what's wrong and right

Leading an army of heroes, is our Black Knight

He will not desert her, or leave her alone

Love doesn't die, when God calls you home

He is with her every minute, his spirit still remains

He will find a way, somehow, to help to ease her pain

He loved her for her strength, he loved her for her grace

A love such as that, can never be replaced

Woe, to those who hurt her, he stands in their path

He faces her with love, and faces them with wrath

Comments about Cathie's poem below that were posted on my old site:

I just want to say that you have written some very great poems about Dale. They brought tears to my eyes. I throughly enjoyed them all. Today it has been 2 months since Dale passed on & i still can not believe that he is gone. These words were written about Dale in a magazine:

NEVER EQUALED -- NEVER FORGOTTEN. No truer words have ever been said.-Unknown author

There will never be another Dale Earnhardt.Thanks for sharing your poems with everyone. Although he will never be forgotten your poems help to keep his memory & THE MAN alive for all of us. Thanks -GORDONFAN

Written by Cathie Smarowsky on 2/22/01

One none of us wanted to see

The day we shall all

Say goodbye to the number three.

Behind that smug look

And those icy steel blue eyes

Was a man with a heart of gold

One who was very wise.

Was to drive and to win

His fire burned within.

Sometimes he drove rough

But that got him to where

His record stands today.

He was doing what he loved

The day the Lord called him home

Driving hard and fast

If only we had known.

He's looking down upon us now

From the racetrack in the sky

We're grieving for him still

And still asking why.

If he knew what was to be

Farewell to our black 3.
