Kickit's Challenge.. That Ole Dodge Dart...

A thousand steps
walking a crooked fence
Memories sauntered slowly,and then they sped,
As thoughts of you,
Circled round and round in my head..
The essence of you..
So near yet so far..
And always with you,
It was about that old car..

My thoughts returned to 1979,
An old 69 dodge dart..
Was it black?
or was it blue?
But in your eyes..
Always shinging and new.

You washed it, you polished it,
So proudly you did display,
To anyone who stopped to comment,
To anyone who stopped to say..

How beautiful is your baby,
And man she's a star..
Oh how I wished back then,
I was as beautiful to you,
as your car.

Quietstorm, I certainly didn't expect what you delivered here. A great right and for some reason, it hit me really hard. I have felt that way before and because of a Mustang. LOL. Wow, that makes me give pause and reflect on something I haven't thought of in years. Thanks for sharing. Good job here!~

My first car was a 79 chevy. A small four door red car. I got it from my dad for free and probably spent about a couple hundred in car repairs on it. The only reason I got rid of it was because he wanted me to buy his Pontiac, which cost me 4,000. The one I have now is a 2000 Chevy Cavalier which cost me 10,500 and a lot of repairs later, I've had it since January 15, 2001.

as your car.
