Listen to poem:

A Life of Firsts and Lasts

A Life of Firsts and Lasts
David J Walker

Every second 
	A second later
Every second 
	Another day gone
Everyday 
wasted on water
	Every night 
Stripped of light
A waste of 
Wine and song

Every first 
	follows another
every verse 
	In past
Winters frost 
	Will count the cost
Of every calendar 
         Cast
