Dad and My Car

I sometimes find my Dad sitting next to me in my car

Not exactly him but some likeness, a vision from afar.

I can’t exactly see him clear

But either way it’s nice to have him near.

 

I sometimes find myself talking to my Dad,

Sitting next to me, in my car

It’s good to talk after all these years and I suppose he’s not really there

But it feels so good, so I don’t really care.

 

I sometimes find my Dad talking to me in my car

Maybe it’s madness, maybe it’s just a dream

Or maybe it’s his spirit, coming through from the other side.

Then again it’s a lovely car; perhaps he just likes the ride . .

I read the piece again Steve, it's simplicity and 'no big deal' or feel works. A dedication (as Pat&Stef noted) is engaging. Tommy

Thanks for looking in Rose.You're right, loved ones are in our hearts no matter where we are. In the case of my car I've always thought of it as a special place because I'm in a very special kind of mood when I'm driving alone. It takes me 45 minutes each way to work and I do lots of my writing there either in my mind or blabbering into an old fashioned tape recorder. When I'm in that introspective sort of mood that's just when I feel my old Dad's closeness,Steve
