Mon Ami

So long, I dreamed of you From age one, maybe two All my life, in total anticipation I could never part with this fascination The books, the paintings The lessons, the cravings Deep in the human psyche Your kind has been our chi In battles all thorough history Your ancestors lead us Into victory The moment I saw That two year old filly I knew she was for me The world stopped Standing in time Burning adoration my crime Bucephalus, Man O' War The very greatest Let me implore None can hold a candle To you under saddle Miles and miles we have rode As far as the stars I am told That Mon Ami The little bay mare Answered my prayer You enchant the sea and sky For you, my precious, The Gods I would defy. 8th place in the "Somewhere A Pet Is Waiting" contest by A Rambling Poet

Great Piece, Amy. Lol. I've always felt that way about a motorcycle. When I got my bike, I raced Hermes at 120mph. "Mon Ami" isn't that what Gambit says? It means male friend, but your mare is female. Maybe you mean "Mon Amie". Did you mean "baby mare" for line 28? I enjoyed your references.
