I should have known....

You passed away, life went on
Almost nine years, have gone.

My son is grown, has a mind of his own,
He wants to be a racer.....that's the only passion he's shown.

And when I see him, speeding away at the track
I wish you were there, to pat his back
for, I am sure, you would be floored,
if you saw him, doing the very thing you adored!

Your love for speed was undeniable,
and it lives in my son, isn't that remarkable?
