Short Firsts Poems

I'd very, I'd so very
like to share every
next First with you....

waves brakes it's armor
cation give way to curiosity
a dark heart draws on
lost in the firsts claws...

A child’s smile, a gleam of delight
Eyes wide clear and bright
New world full of firsts
Excitement simmers then bursts...

It's a first of many I realized this Easter.
I had a first birthday, first Thanksgiving,
first Christmas without you.
Even though I thought I couldn't.
It was hard as hell, I survived a first of many firsts to come.

Four score and twenty years 
I rinsed my lids- so many tears 
So oft I sigh
 
To life anew- firsts breathe 
To life lost- ye mourn a death 
So oft they die 

Twenty years and forty score 
I'll weep again, at least once more 
So oft I cry...

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...

In five months we set a fire
For five hours I flew
In five seconds, we kissed
In five days we did 5 firsts
Within 5 weeks you were mine,
And I yours.
We live and love, 5 x 5
And five years passes so quickly.
So high 5
And take five...

You Inspire Me

What inspires me?

A song lyric-------a brave, determined person (Man or Woman)

A gifted child

An Innovator, innovators are individuals that are firsts to do something.

That inspires me and by the way…

O mother you inspire me (most of all)!...

Turning on favorites 
All the firsts of things
Felling in depth 
Being unaware
Not giving a care
Letting go on roller coaster
Learn
Catalog page
Turns
From one thing to another
Paint brush flow 
In even strokes
Then in all directions
Engravings fitting 
For Summers affections...

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...

Listen to poem:

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...

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...

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

One more day until Monday
I can hardly wait!
Monday is the day of new beginnings
The day of firsts
The start of a new fresh, brand new week!

Monday, here I come! !
Monday, over here, baby!
Hello Monday!
I have my Monday attitude on

Ready to love, embrace and welcome Monday
Wanting to hug her and kiss her
Spinning in excitement
One more day until Monday!...

Our family is a big one but it seems to grow more each day, 
But there is plenty of room for your son and lots of love I'd say. 

Now i know it can be scary to be a first time mom, 
But we are all here to help you when you feel you can't be strong.  

We will be there for his firsts and seconds too you see, 
Because little baby Braxtyn will be spoiled as can be....

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...

Your good love strengthens bones like sunshine 
My nose, a rose, a toast of red wine 
The great flames of passion licking hot
though evenings grow, firsts sometimes forgot 

Forgot that tender morn our eyes met 
Hot with extraordinary sweat, wet
Wine, a blush cabernet, sparkling smiles 
Sunshine spotless, a wonderful while 

Would I forget Heaven's first advent...

I can...
Re-free them-
as power for kites in the haze,

I Sherly agree,
where does the THE arrize!!
I plot for the!

Like a shanty house-
Never around,
has its own downs,

hill-top surrounds-

even paradoxical their flights up the signs...

When time doesn't occur,
they have left the neither neither with firsts,

and people as they camp-

they allow those who burst....

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!...

Have Hoped Each Hour

have hoped each hour
God brings another shower
with all His power

many will have cared
fear times fear equals fear squared
so this message shared

FDR

came out of hiding
his time he has been bidding
always confiding

Joe Biden

had been first to die
good soldiers in short supply
as all time passed by

These are the firsts
that seem so sad

Fairy, fairly, Ferris Wheel,
Reaching the top - Squeal!

Merrily, jumping hopscotch
Squares, I'm a fool, drool.

Picking up pebbles, once in
A stream, lined my inner
Pockets. A locket now lost
Will never be found, cost
Me pictures of my firsts.
Give me drink, dying thirst.

Hop, hop, hop along. Down
And dirty, must not frown.
Dove in a pool, didn't drown.
Childhood is now coming around....

Cute cats and dogs throughout my life that shared their souls with me.
Home, of course, and family, the treasures of my heart.
Each dawn – to wake and once again, a brand new day to start.
Routines I love – like going out or writing poetry.
Innumerable sweet moments living in my memory.
Special things -the many “firsts” that from my mind will not depart.
Heaven-sent – true friends – be they with me still or now apart.

The end of senior year is bittersweet. 
Most of our assignments are incomplete
Working the bare minimum to pass
Taking each day class by class 

Senioritis has been here since third quarter
As the teacher’s patience gets shorter and shorter 
The deadline are nearing
But they’re something none of us are hearing

There are more lasts than firsts
And the thought of college is making us burst
As much as we all want to get out
Oh, what I would do to just reroute...

The radio was playing blues;
I danced and in my arms
My 3 month grandson focused on
Exuding all his charms.

But suddenly to my surprise
A brand-new trick emerged - 
A flat-out giggle, loud and clear
And oh, my heart just surged.

He giggled then a bunch more times
So his intent was clear - 
The music and the movement
Set his giggle track in gear.

I will not witness all his firsts
But this one was a thrill,
For laughter is a trait of which
I'll never get my fill....

When my work on earth is through,
I will travel somewhere new.
I will not be far away,
In your heart I’ll always stay.

There will be good times and bad,
But try hard not to be sad.
Happiness comes from within,
A new life set to begin.

The “firsts” are hardest of all,
The “signs” I send may be small.
A noise, a ring, or feeling,
I can’t be too revealing.

Just always know that I’m near,
And that you don’t have to fear.
Someday we’ll be together,
And that will last forever....
