The Day That Changed My Life (A History Lesson)
by Joan SerratelliI had to walk my dog
She ran faster than I
I was frantic
When I got to the corner
She was there
A boy had her
"I will take your dog
If you carry my Basketball"
We walked
We talked
He asked me out
I agreed
And I swear
I heard
the Fates laughing
We went out for a while broke up
but remained friends
He never really left
My first marriage was a disaster
We broke up
My friend was there
I had his child
We named her Sam
After his Granddad
The dog I was walking
was Sam
People thought I named her after
the dog
Got married sometimes
Had our ups and downs
Still together
and sometimes
If I listen real hard
The fates are STILL laughing
