"The Man In Black"
Author Unknown
The Heaven 500 was just getting started,
An All Star race for the racing departed.
Heros of the track with nerves like steel,
And sitting on the pole, was a cat named Neil.
Adam Petty was there with his beautiful smile,
Kenny Irwin determined to finish with style.
Lee Petty was glowing with that Grandfather pride,
With Davey & Clifford both in a new ride.
Fireball Roberts floated in on a cloud,
while Tony Roper waved to the Heavenly crowd.
Morroase & Nemecheck, then Tim Richmond appeared,
Kulwicki strapped in while the race fans cheered.
The honorary stater for this Heavenly race,
Ralph Earnhardt was chosen with a tear on his face.
But the red flag flew just before it begun,
and every eye was opened wide and looking for the SON.
A last minute entry was the cause of the delay,
While the fans were instructed to kneel and pray.
The Heavens turned black and the clouds turned dark,
the lighting was brilliant and the thunder did bark.
Then out of the rumble for all to see,
the clouds formed a number, a black number 3.
The Heavenly fans then erupted with pride,
and welcomed this star who had recently died.
With a bolt of lighting Dale Earnhardt arrived.
As he stood before Jesus his spirit revived.
Jesus hugged his precious child then revealed his perfect plan,
"I brought you home to let you know, I'm you Biggest Fan."
"The Intimidator was needed for this Heavenly race,
leaving all your Earthly fans, with Honor & Grace."
Ralph Earnhardt then stepped forward embracing his son,
then whispered in the ear of Dale, "Let's go and have some fun."
As Ralph stood proud, the green flag flew,
the crowd went wild and the tension grew,
and just like Salvation, the admission was free,
as every eye focused on the Black #3.
When the checkered flag dropped no dry eyes remained,
"It was a photo finish," Jesus explained.
He said, "There are no losers on this Heavenly track.
This is a coming home party for The Man In Black."
