That Very First Kiss
As I reflect upon our lives
We thought we had forever
Until the dreaded C word came
With so much worry
With so much pain
We should have taken time away
Before it took your life that day
To laugh and run
Sit in the sun
Just you and I
‘neath clear blue sky
Turning back those hands of time
Cancer would still evolve
For life together cannot stop
Or happiness be put on hold
I am thankful for our good times
And the years we had together
For nothing is forever
That is certain
That is truth
And now to visit times gone by
I do not ask that question ‘Why’
For stored deep down inside my heart
These precious memories
There forever
for my heart and soul to treasure
Never to depart
At sad times
At happy times
I visit and enjoy
That very first kiss
‘twixt this girl
and that boy…
