Returning To My First Word
To return to my first word
that word whatever it was
those so many years ago
since then a stutter has been it's cause
I often would like to return
to see what brought it on
when since that day of beginnings
fluency and ease of words are mostly gone
It's hard to imagine that scene
having no recollection of it's first time
but it must have shocked the system
maybe that's how now I write rhyme
Oh was it maybe a fright?
or being in a religious child home
having no parents to look to
just little me on my own
We can't change anything now
the moments we've lived are past
never to be lived again
let's move on and finish our task
