The First Time (Some remember some don’t)

Overwhelming anxiety
Almost too much to take
This is it, the real thing
Wishing for no mistakes

Nervously waiting
Wondering what will be
Nervous eyes of anticipation
Sometimes wanting to flee

Thoughts run through the mind
Hoping that it’s perfect
Excitement, nervousness
It’s all part of it, isn’t it

In the midst of it all
A smile from ear to ear
The feeling is undeniable
Contentment, forgetting all fear

It’s finally done
You thought the day would never come
A little tense at first
In the end it was kind of fun

One more stage in life
Things change from here on end
The first time in the potty
No more diapers till the day
You need
Depends

Hi Kat...
          this is priceless!!!!  What a great poem this is......brought back some memories!!!   Funny thing, you still feel the same way when you meet someone new!!
              Great Job.....


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
