I’m afraid the time I have dreaded has come,
And though it’s exciting, I can’t help but feel glum.
The end of an era is here, I dare say,
When my dear Trusty Steve will be going away.
Ten years have gone by with this wondrous car,
Our travels together bringing me near home and far.
Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec and New Brunswick,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, you pick.
You braved vicious storms and slick roads to Toronto,
Where I thought I would die, but you got me there pronto.
A deer you did hit and license plate you did lose,
Somehow I survived without scrapes or a bruise.
Two hundred and seventy thousand kilometres you’ve acquired,
And your power of will I have come to admire.
You’ve been filled to the brim with my whole life inside,
Packed as tight as can be, I often beamed with pride.
Sorry for those times I forgot to change your oil,
And you started to click, under your hood did toil.
Over the years you’ve also lost a hub cab or two,
And have transported many friends, some old and some new.
The bumps and bruises of time are quite visible now,
I put off saying goodbye as long as I could allow.
Glistening in the sun, I will miss that blue paint,
But my thoughts of you I can assure will never grow faint.
Sticky locks often caused me to lock myself out,
But I came to know your many quirks, without any doubt.
Although I won’t miss the way you delayed shifting gears,
I will hold tight to the memories of our adventurous years.
There are so many things I must leave unsaid,
As visions of our time together dance in my head.
I know now it’s time from my side you must leave,
But you will forever remain my Trusty Steve.
As sad as it is to let my old friend go,
When one chapter closes a new one does show.
Many may not believe in love at first sight,
But when I saw this Ford Focus my heart did take flight.
My new chapter is a lovely electric shade of bright blue,
She eases the pain of dear Steve, it’s true.
This new vibrant steed has been named Annabelle,
And I hope we come to know each other quite well.
Many hours of bonding and catching up is a must,
Your vehicle is something you should be able to trust.
The plush leather seats are a very comfy change,
And having each speaker work I must say is quite strange.
Heated seats will be dandy when winter draws near,
And now my car not starting isn’t something to fear.
I must thank Barrhead Ford from the bottom of my heart,
Without their help I wouldn’t have known where to start.
So goodbye dearest Steve, our time together was swell.
And hello my beautiful new blue Annabelle.
