The First Time Is the Best

I think the anticipation of it
probably was what made that first time best
I know I reminisce about it more
then I remember any of the rest

I thought about it for such a long time
before she finally let me begin
Oh, the joy from that first wonderful bite
and the orange juice running down my chin

enjoyed your subtle poem, i think the first time, we really don't know "what we find", after there is no such surprise thanks for the cute penning, have a nice day

Thanks, Yann. The one nice thing about getting old, sometimes I forget that I did it before, so it becomes the first time again.
