A Beautiful Color For A Dream

A man I never met one day decided to make a project for he and his son. They would together restore an old Chevy truck then paint it blue. He bought it from a man he didn't know. Soon after he found out he had cancer. Well he worked as best he could all his buddies helped him and his son. Ford dark blue exterior was the color they choose and when the paint was dry they took a ride to the drive in 

for ice cream cones it was Sunday I was told. It wasn't long after that a few Sundays more......

One day some six months later a friend of mine showed me a photo of an old 1953 Chevy truck his widowed sister had for sale. Pop and I drove to Waukesha Wisconsin to buy for me a dream machine you might say. It wouldn't stay lit so we had to tow bar it home. For one thing and another we were stuck in a motel for two days. It made for the best visit we ever had what with all those hours on the road together. It wasn't long after we got it home maybe six Sundays or so Pop passed over in a car accident.

This morning I'm driving to see a man I never met. He wants to buy an old truck so his son and him can work on it together. You know spend some quality time together building a dream machine you might say. 

Dreams are very special things they move through time connecting people with the ones they love. Ford dark blue exterior it's a really beautiful color for a dream.

It's not a story like one would tell over and over again, it's more of a story one lives through then mentions once like in passing
