My Maserati
Exactly nineteen years ago
on my eighteenth birthday
my best friend ever
gave me a Maserati
I didn't quite know
what exact car type
but after a big auto show
what stood out from the hype
was one Maserati
Seeing my needs and my heart
Loving the quirks to my soul
unlocked by automobile art
So on my thirty-seventh
where do you think I'd be?
In the garage
with my Maserati
With the best gift
ever given to me

So on my thirty-seventh
where do you think I'd be?

A friend once bought me my freedom and sanity with peace and love - or so I thought - with hindsight I would have been better off with a Maserati - Loved this write :-)))))
I thank God every day for my Maserati and hope my husband enjoys being a metaphorical sports car!
We were married actually 4 days later... but poetically speaking, God used my birthday to give me liberty to get that State permission slip.... to then have and hold what God wanted for me.

Favourite lies (for rhyme, the only verse that does rhyme):

Noticing your comment to David, do I understand the friend and the Maserati are metaphors for God and your husband (bless him)? I am aware some of my fellow men give their cars female attributes (and sometimes get accused of being 'married' to their cars).

Your beautiful Poem resonates with thankfulness, and very nicely done.

Yes, definitely feeling thankful! God is my best friend, and he's God's own, with blurred lines between the two.
