Haphazard Memories

First time for everything 

They say......

Your first love

Your heart goes ping

It didn't last

Feeling like an outcast 

Your first alcoholic drink

You would not pour

It down the sink

Your first driving lesson

Your very first poem

So many firsts

I must keep going

Your first exam

First day of school

First time on the internet dating pool

First taste of Marmite

Did not go down too well

The way I reacted 

My teacher would tell

First tooth grown

First embroidery sewn

First Pet

First House, To Let

So many firsts

I must keep going

First Wedding - 

Was not wedded bliss!

You hardly had the time to give me a kiss

First Pregnancy 

Did not go as planned

I miscarried

The midwife did not let me hold your tiny hand

I wanted to keep you

But you couldn't be kept

First ever period

I am a woman now

Hormonal, First Row

So many firsts

I must keep going

First time visiting Cambridge 

I saw you rowing

First time for everything 

So they say......

So, I'll just keep going

First time swimming

An outside pool

I could hear the birds singing

They sound so cool

First phonecall

First text message

First time playing football

Not really a Girly Girl

So not from me

That first twirl!

I'd best go away 

And not keep going

Otherwise, they'll be no end to this poem.
