Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The First Time

  
	       the first time you heard someone sigh
                 the first time you had a good cry
               the first time you understood people die
                 the first time you wondered why   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   t              the first time you ever had fun 
                   the first time you took off on a run 
               the first time you felt the warmth of the sun
                    the first time you knew God was One

Bj Legros Kelley August 5, 2026 at 11:11 PM Beautiful poem Gershon, very sweet. Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:17 PM Thanks for your kind words, Bj. Blessings and bounty, gw

David Crandall August 1, 2026 at 7:36 PM Here's to first times! Harder to come by! Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:17 PM You're right, David - especially for a second-hand rose like me...

Joseph P. DiMino August 1, 2026 at 5:34 AM Very nice, Gershon; but not the first time you wrote a beautiful poem, as you do consistently. Well done my friend. Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:21 PM So kind of you to encourage me, Joe. I need all the encouragement I can get, believe me.

Tom Cunningham August 1, 2026 at 12:04 AM There's a first time for everything, shame we can't forget the bad things. Tom Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:22 PM You're right, Tom... And I thought that memory is supposed to be selective. ~ gw

Alison A Smith July 31, 2026 at 11:13 PM The first time they asked why 🤔⭐ Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:24 PM And hopefully, it wasn't the last time either... Too many people in life get the curiosity knocked out of them. I'm one. But I managed to retrieve it in early middle age. Lucky me.
