My 59s Poem to me.
Redeemed
By Josh Helms ( plagiarized by Jim Nolan )
I am America, as are many things.
My prime is ended, taken from me by the bastard sons of tomorrow.
Shunned in favor of invaders from foreign lands. I loved the competition.
Yet now, I find my place of rest. The dirt rises to bury axel and caress undercarriage.
Behind barns, in garages, unsympathetic salvage yards, buried in dust and filth and broken promises.
I am become end, in myself I have felt finality. This, I accept.
But you, you are incapable of seeing an end.
Your sight reaches depths and times not seen for decades. In the spirit of a younger, proud America.
You see me as more than rust and ruin.
I am buried under so much more than physical rubble , despite this, you choose to dig.
You reach forth, seize and pull me to life… liberating me from defeat.
You clean, scrub, scrape, peel, wipe, sand, paint, polish, replace, drill, weld. It’s hard. But you don’t stop.
I lack the necessary heart… you put yours into me
You restore my luster anew, a shine far greater.
With craftsmanship unfathomable, you bathe me in precision.
I swill gasoline, you forgive me.
In my age, I struggle… you assist me.
I bend and break, with loving concern you mend my shame.
I am far from practical, you don’t care.
All of these things you do for me, all of these things expecting nothing.
Your work, to you, is reward enough.
However, your unending kindness is not lost on me.
I will take you to speeds you only dream of.
Through my indebted service, highways will be cast at your feet.
I am old, but strong. I will protect you.
No man will contest your dominion over the road.
The road is mine. It always has been and ever shall be mine. And, I bestow it to you with pride.
You have delivered me into the future, through strife and fire. I am grateful.
I trust you, and if you trust me.
I’ll bring you that horizon.
We shall chase it together.
I have many names.Edsel, Fairlane, Custom, Skyliner, Sunliner, Ranch Wagon, Courier, Del Rio and Ranchero are but a few.
My name is America.
I am the child of a forgotten age, swept up in the tides of progression.
And as the generations roll forward, they attempt to forget me completely.
I watch the masses pass me by, but you
You stop, turn to me
You lay your hands upon me and say, “Don’t worry. You’re safe.”
“And I’m not leaving you.”

Best Ford Commercial EVER…
http://www.richhumor.com/wp-filez/PerhapstheBestFordCommercia.wmv
If you are not a Ford fan, that’s ok, but please watch this commercial. It’s not what you think, but a great way to promote a product. It can put a tear in your eye.
Ford has not accepted a penny from the government bailout and really should be marketing their action. But they have chosen to take a higher road …a road with class. Enjoy this to the very end.
Ford outdid themselves with this commercial.
HEY
YOU CAN VISIT FRANKIE AND THE OTHERS THAT DIED ON THIS THE 3rd OF FEB. 1968! !
PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL WHO HAVE DIED !

Thank you Storm King and Dino for sharing that ‘Ford’ commercial,wow.that really hit home and put a tear or two in my eyes.When I can back from ‘Nam’ in ’66’,just being home with family again was ‘great’! However,the ‘icing on the cake’ was when my best friend Bill handed me a set of keys to my ‘ole’ 55 Chevy Bel Air 2dr. h.t.! I had sold it when I got drafted,and somehow he found it and bought it back! That’s why this commercial from ‘Ford’ really hits the heart and home to those who have served our country.(P.S. still wish I kept that 55).
