Last goodbye to an old friend.

Good-bye Old Friend

 

Goodbye old friend,

This is the end.

For you must go

Please don’t say no.

Your vinyl is torn,

Your carpet is worn.

And we are both old,

So you must be sold.

 

Your new driver will love you

I am sure it’s true .

But she'll never love you

 As I do.

Her driving I hate,

She’s on a P Plate.

If she hurts you I’ll cry,

BUT Now I must say my last goodbye.

 

L
bye bye

It's hard to let go of the past -- the memories that one treasures, the outings, the traffic jams, giving others a ride -- such joy.

I hope she's off to a good family who will enjoy her as much as you did. It's like saying goodbye to an old friend.

...one of the closest friends one ever has...not to mention one that has given a sense of freedom...wheels of independence.

Wash away the tears! I'm sure the "new" addition to the family was given a welcome party! We can all relate to this poem, and, yes, I admit, that it is tough to get rid of the ole nellie for the new.
Have a great day today

Nothing like a bond with an old freind,, I am sure she will come cruising by for a visit, or a honk to say hi. Christine

I know how it was when I had to get rid of my old 1980 Pontiac Sunbird before I got my 1987 Grand Am. I cried for days! LOL I loved that ol' car, even with the wrecks I had (my fault). I kiddingly called my Sunbird my 1980/1985/1986 Sunbird due to parts replaced. LOL I also cried when I sold my Grand Am to get my Mercury Topaz; yes, my cars and I had some adventures! It's like getting rid of an old friend when you sell a car or have to get rid of it.

Now my cars are blue; my car is/are my crutches. I walk just about everywhere I go! LOL

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Cute write!
