There for My Firsts - HAPPY HEAVENLY MOTHER'S DAY
Kevin Davis 2024
Someone gave me my first kiss and made me feel love at first sight,
Someone gave me my first hug and made me feel warm inside.
Someone dried my first tears and stopped the pain I felt,
Someone knew what made me feel good making me feel just right.
Someone cleaned me inside and out and made me feel so right,
Someone made me feel safe and calm all my terrible frights.
Someone cared enough for me to anticipate all of my needs.
Someone was my very first playmate and taught me so many things.
Someone shared with me their wisdom, teaching me right from wrong.
Someone’s very gentle guidance saw that I grew very strong.
Someone taught me to believe in my dreams, encouraging me to soar,
Someone’s love was a strong beacon and will be there forevermore.
Someone was always there for my many first things, both day and night.
It was always you Mom, you knew just how to treat me so very right
For All My Firsts
Kevin Davis 2024
You gave me my first kiss,
soft as a feather light.
You gave me my first hug,
that made the world feel right.
You dried away my teardrops,
you chased away my fears.
You showed me how to giggle,
and smiled between my tears.
You knew just when I needed
a cuddle or a song.
You taught me to be gentle,
you taught me right from wrong.
You cheered for all my first steps,
you clapped for all my tries.
You helped me find my courage,
and dream up to the skies.
For every “first” I’ve ever had,
from morning until night—
It’s always you, dear Mom,
who made my world so bright.

There are firsts in life
you should strive to do,
like saying “hello” first
or “how are you?”
Extend your hand first
and offer a smile,
making friendliness your natural style.
When relaying a compliment,
be sincere…
Let strangers know
they are welcome here!
And, since we all make mistakes
no matter how long we live,
it will serve your heart well
when you’re first to forgive.
Murder in the first degree, no ammendment' a tone
Never to attune; to.' the U S A to be deaf and dumb?
Were its constitution srruck, a mortal wound;
Would be done! A world of opportunity; undone, the
Vital seed of true debate, free expression the chance
To counter hate.' I appreciate as many do, a healthy
America is better.' Reality's heart, beating beneath
The red white and blue!
Satan: Recorded First Liar,
His lies like Wings A Good Flier;
God’s Reaction: The First Anger
That put Poor Adam in danger,
Garden of Eden First Venue,
Four Rivers in its Avenue;
Feet- Deprived Snake First Punishment,
Fulfilling God’s Wished Commandment
The Whole Episode: Sad Drama,
Much stronger than Shakespeare’s Grammar…
Adam’s Fig Leaves for Loins First Cloth:
A Nice Cook could with them make broth;
Animal Skin for Adam First Dress;
Just The Ones that could Eyes impress:
In effect, God The First Tailor
In effect, God The First Sailor…
These were The Firsts in Genesis:
Mainly about Man and Nemesis.
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
Cant remember the first time
i kissed her
because i never stopped
Cant forget her face
The trace never leaves
its place
With her frame underneath
my fingertips
i finally felt touch
Time has retired
Fire has no thirst
and everything is firsts
each novelty
a penny in a jar
adding up
to who we now are
even when it’s full
you cannot start new
fresh experiences
start becoming few
again in our head
they play and they play
what can’t be lost
we wish would go away
so we settle
to forget the riveting firsts
doing everything we can
to numb our hopeless thirsts
I'd very, I'd so very
like to share every
next First with you.
Grief comes,settles in the veins
And then come the firsts
Needling it to rise and erupt
Crash and clamor
First time as I land and inhale
The air of my land
Will it feel arid and alien
Without your breath mixed in it?
First time my sallow eyes
Searching for a glimpse of you
In the collage of faces
Known and Unknown

How Many Firsts Can We Find
If Hillary is next President there will be many firsts.
First Presidential Pair to take off in Air Force One.
First Presidential Pair to re-enter White House.
First female president to sign something into law.
First Female President to assign a new member to Supreme Court.
First Female President to bring in her old White House plates and silverware.
First Presidential Pair to have an Easter Egg roll.
First Presidential Pair who has a grand child.
First Presidential Pair to ever sleep together for second time in White House.
First Presidential Pair to watch TV in the White house together.
First Presidential Pair to put up a Christmas Tree together.
What firsts can you think of. Her alone along with them together
will be doing many firsts. Which ones can you name? Jim Horn
You think the time we met
was when we locked eyes
But our souls knew each other
repeating lifetimes
An unspoken language
that needed no words
An automatic magnet
pulling us close
Why would two beings
fight, temp the fates
When we were destined
together, forever
an unending first
It seems like yesterday we first met
I held you in my hands and knew you were safe
You put your head on my chest and drifted into complete silence
As you grew in strength you grew in independence
You listened intently as so you could speak your own voice
Unable to witness your first step you ran all over me
You are my first greatest anything
I love you
I love experiencing all our firsts,
The first time you walked me to my car,
underneath the shiny stars.
mmmm our first kiss,
And how I couldn't wait 2 taste your lips.
The first time we made love,
so confident and equipt.
Never took our time for granted,
we were thankful for this gift.
The first time you stayed till morning,
had me taken by surprise.
To wake with this hansom man,
was all worth my wild.
The first time we had a fight,
And saw who we really are,
We still made the decision to love each other,
till death do us part.
The first year of first holidays,
we spent building what we have.
To turn our loved ones into family,
And continue on our path.
The times we feel were worlds apart,
you'll always have my heart.
And now to have you in our lives forever's just the start.
