Ode to my crashed Prius

This car has been a-lived in
It's dirty and it stinks
It's gone for miles and miles
And now, just to think:

I never really thought about
How good it was to me
How the first time it smelled like grandma
And how my son's first memories of food are permanently in it's seats.

This car has been a-lived in
And I crashed it did it wrong
I would have liked just one more trip
To one more great place it's been as it's swan song.

Just one more time down the blue ridge parkway
Just one more funny video with my son-
just one more adventure
to some thing we'd never done.

This car has been a-lived in
As time had gone rushing by
Objects have no voice or soul
But this car and me learned what it is-
To be alive.
