Intro: My response to - First Time In Love (Poetry) by Yvonne3750

(Twenty six years and staring down the barrel of twenty seven…)

A daughter and three granddaughters – the light of our existence.

Two businesses, one bankruptcy, sickness, death and disability – we’ve visited them all in our time together!

It’s not very long and it doesn’t even rhyme; there’s no balance to it all; it’s all a bit of a jumble in fact…

But I read a poem today, about first love and how the person would never do it again – never feel it again! I thought that that was sad!

And so for what it is worth Yvonne3750

The joy of…

Sharing caring and just knowing…

That how I feel, matters, and

That it matters how you feel too.

I’ve had a really bad day

And I feel like it will never be right again

But a smile, a hug, a kiss; and

The sun comes out

The perspective is back

It was just a bad day

And it’s over now

And tomorrow will be new.

And how you feel

You’ve suffered a disappointment,

A loss, something sad, or just bad

I can hold you, and tell you

That it’ll be alright.

And make you feel better,

I have that power.

My days are eventful in some way, and

The first thought that comes into my head is

I must tell you all about it

Later when you come home

I’m whole and complete,

There is nothing that I can’t do.

I’m a woman of worth; I’ve a place in this world,

I’m needed – I’m special.

A purpose, a value

And that’s all because of you.

My husband my lover my very first love.
