ONE DONE

Counting all those numbers
Until our life is done
If you think about it
They all begin with ONE.

The FIRST day of life
The FIRST time we cried
The FIRST time we laughed
Our FIRST Yuletide.

The FIRST time we crawled
The FIRST step we took
The time the other sex
Was seen with a new look.

The FIRST time we knew
How we really feel
The FIRST time we thought we loved
The FIRST time it was real.

But someday when those FIRSTs
Are all done and past
We'll find the FIRST day of our life
Really is the LAST.

Del- I haven't read any of your work before this, however I am going to go back and find it. You are indeed a welcome addition to the Passions community.
Great job.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

yea, it goes so quickly... but sometimes so slow.
I guess you really can only have one last, though. Better live it up.
Well done.

Always, Alyssa

I read this poem from the very FIRST word to the very LAST word--and everything in between--and thoroughly enjoyed every word!
