First Day

First day of the week is about believing --
  what you see is what you get after striving
First day in school is about excitement 
  a combination of fear and amusement
First day of pay at work is about engagement --
  engaging in gimmicks, parties and payment
First day is what everybody is waiting for
  a sunny day, rainy day or snowy day
First day is about dreaming 
  dreaming of something without spending
First day of training is winning
  winning without jerking
First day is  New Year's Day
  this is why not all countries have the same calendar for Christmas Day
First day in the gym is showmanship --
  cuteness with sportsmanship 
First day can also be the last day
  just started and not finishing, with or without pay
... is about counting what you want to have
  same first day when you fell asleep working too hard to keep a job
... is about resurrection 
  after reminiscing your old creation
... is about parenting 
  single or married, you are unrelenting
... is about renewal 
   a dowry, backpay or withdrawal
...is about rewards
  after long months or years of not moving backwards 
... is about a period 
  only for females, stars of myriad
... is about forgiving
  giving without parental conditioning
... is about driving
  seated and tranquil while smiling
... is a debut
  what is what, who is who
... is like a prom
  you get hugged or dragged in a ring apron...

What is your "First Day" about?
