A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

There’s always a first time for everything

From the first breath you take
To your first birthday cake
To the first word you say
As you start to walk away

To the first flower you plant
Till the time you say you can’t
And as you begin to grow
You realize it’s time to go

As you take your first steps into school
Take a swim in the huge pool
And you eat your first school meal
Find it hard to tell people how you feel

As you look at life in a different way
You look to tomorrow not yesterday
You’re all grown up and can see
Where you’re going and what you want to be

You see and buy that perfect pearl
And then you find your perfect girl
You live together and grow old
Through the thick, thin, warm and cold

Now it’s time to take your final bow
And you start to wonder how
The time has just whizzed by
And time is ticking till you die.

There may be a first time for everything
To become queen or king
But everything ends, it must
Like a loaf of bread with a crust

As you lay back in your rocking chair
And take a deep breath of fresh air
You lay close to the women you care so dear
And whisper ‘I love you’ in her ear.

You close your eyes for the last time!
