To the best skateboarder ever on this planet, who showed much enthusiasm, much love, and much courage, You are an Angel of God’s Light, May you Rest in PeaceMay God Bless your Mother, Father, all the family and friends and Please God, lessen the pain in their heartsSkateboarding – Poem by Pene BurkeyWhen I go rolling on my skateboard, I feel the wind blow on my face. My body glides along in freedom, And then my foot keeps up the pace.I must lean just right to make the curve, Then get my balance back on track. I look for the chance to do a trick, I start the move….no turning back.I catch the air and do a kick-flip, The board goes round and meets my feet. I get anxious as I start a trick, But glad its ended safe and neat.My board becomes part of my body, I cannot be whole without it. What if it breaks and leaves me stranded? How can I get there? ……..I’ll just sit! !Skateboarder’s prayer…….Our father which art on roads Sidewalk surfer be his name It will be done on asphalt as it is on concrete Give us this day our daily wipeouts And forgive us our offences As we forgive those who offend us And deliver us from cops For thine is the board The trucks and the wheels For ever and ever scarred. AMEN
