I Laid Eyes Upon This Molly
An anniversary poem for my Bella, my soul sister, my turtle island traveler, and my forever favorite friend.
When I first laid eyes upon this molly,
I couldn’t be more blind.
Her toes were long, her leg was bowed,
I thought - she’s just my kind!
The farmer said, “She’s cheap for good reason,
In pain and tears, you’ll wallow.”
Yes, I’ve been thrown a time or two,
But without a hurt a heart is hollow…
Now here we are three years since then,
By my side a true and steady friend.
And each day I wake I thank the Lord,
for that trade, I made in folly…
Because I know I am so lucky,
I laid eyes upon this molly!
So cheers to you, my friend! Three years with you, my friend! And a lifetime more to follow!
