I Have A Dreem

It started out an idea.

I was about eight or nine.

Growing up in a racing family.

My own idea, my own design.

Would be different for sure.

Hadn't seen many around.

I was swimming in ideas.

Thought I was going to drown.

Has only taken fifty years.

I finally have my own space.

Now this is the time

And this here is the place.

It's all coming together.

The hot rod I always dreamed of.

It's now rolling on four wheels.

It's been a labor of love.

Had part of a small shop.

Working in very tiny places.

Spent more time and energy.

Wasting time creating spaces.

Found some of my old drawings.

Would never happen I feared.

Drawn from a time of innocence.

An end of a dream is finally near.

My own hot rod.

Built by my own two hands.

Every piece, every part.

Homebuilt, not by any plans.

A 1923 Model T Roadster.

A top loader manual three speed.

Working and cutting metal.

Hands sore, sometimes they bleed.

A big block Ford six cylinder.

Came out of a UPS truck.

Will have it running soon,

with some skill and lots of luck,

Made to come from the fifties.

A racing veteran roadster.

Combining hot rod and race car.

two birds one stone, for this aging oldster.

Will soon be on the street.

Maybe a few laps at the track.

Some might snicker and laugh.

Might get a few pats on the back.

To quote a famous figure.

While doing what I want to do.

I HAVE A DREEM.
It's about to finally come true.

Very cool write, Cars are pretty neat and cool. I like 1967 cherry red Ford Mustang.
It was my first car.

Thank you very much. My first, what seems like a hundred years ago, was a 1965 Mustang. It was actually painted Plum Crazy Purple a color Dodge had many years ago and just recently brought back.
