Scotty
He knew when to hang up the keys My 14th year and licensed to drive His Pride and Joy the only car he ever owned A 1940 Chevy Special Deluxe touring car with all the bells and whistles He wanted to give it to me Dad refused the gift Required me to buy the car My first car purchase A… $35 1940 Chevy Special Deluxe touring car His Pride and Joy I named Scotty* in his honor Copyright © 2013 Annie – Original PoetryAlways…I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
As Ever, Annie *My across the road neighbor growing up was a man of dignity and grace by the name of Scott Thompson. His grandchildren and I were fast friends and I became an adopted member of the family. Widowed he never remarried. Was in the grocery business until he retired and walked to work every day, even before he hung up the keys to his precious car. What wonderful memories I have of this dear man! The car in the picture is an exact replica of my Scotty right down to the fog lamps on the bumper and the cream paint job … wish I still had that car!

It’s not strange to me that objects like your car can become a living friend, a part of some one else, and then eventually, you.
Love,joy,peace.
