Ritchie's Ripple
By: Baby Dragon
The sun sets on the horizon, as the waves crash on the shore,
And a gentle breeze blows, like a whisper from before.
Ritchie's absence looms, like a shadow in the night,
But his memory lives on, like a beacon shining bright.
He was a lover of water sports, a true child of the sea,
His passion ignited like a flame, wild and free.
He chased every wave, and soared on the crest,
With a heart full of joy, and a soul at its best.
But his dreams were cut short, by the weight of the world,
As he toiled and struggled, his spirit unfurled.
And in the end, he fell, his body worn and tired,
But his spirit lives on, in the hearts he inspired.
For Ritchie's life was a message, one to us all,
To chase our dreams, and answer the call.
To never give up, and always strive,
To make the most of every moment, and truly come alive.
So let us remember Ritchie, in all his shining glory,
And let his memory inspire us, to live out our own story.
For he was a true champion, a hero of the sea,
And his spirit lives on, in you and in me.
