First Times...
The
first kiss you kiss…
The first cheque you earn…
Or the first cigarette
That you burn...
The memories
we might berate.
Or with nostalgia we celebrate.
With affection, or frothing anger
First things of life we commemorate.
The harbinger
of
Hundreds to come.
The first remembered more
Than the hundreds' sum.
The direction set
With that first time.
So before the leap
Just think awhile.
For better or
Should it be for worse.
Whether you cherish
Or you curse;
Whether you smile
Or you frown
On the scheme of things
A decade down,
Depends on the dream
That you dream tonight.
So before the journey set
The rudder right
Make the first of life
A memorable day.
Relish the step forever
Taken today.
