John Loving Iii Poet Ballad

Seven Times Ten Birthday Girl

i wonder when your seventy
will you be just as kind
a little old lady wearing glasses
aged by troubles and time

i wonder when your seventy
will you remember me
someone who wrote of you
who's in his heart you'll be

i wonder when your seventy
and you remember all the times
that i woulds write you poems
dispight the jealous minds

i wonder when your seventy
two thousand fourty something
or maybe in the fifties
it's rude to make presumptions

i just hope when your seventy
that you are seventy "FINE!
widowed, available or just divorced
willing and able to be all mine




(happy birthday special lady. I'm 
sending you a unicorn for your b-
day.)
