FF: Value of a Human

PHOTO PROMPT - © Al Forbes
PC: Al Forbes
There was a time when on the road I was the head turner
The pride of my owner

Now after 40 years, when my owner is trapped in the photo-frame and hanging on the wall
I am strapped to a truck and taken to another location, like every other fall

Lucky for me, I am declared antique, and my name becomes special in every show I go
While the only place my owner’s name comes now in the frame below which a candle glows

  3. This is a beautiful story. I think the car is mistaken though, once it's gone, no one will burn a candle.
