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
