The First Time
The first time
I looked into those shining eyes
Laughing like starlight
Kind as the sapphire skies
I felt adored
The first time
My hand lingered in yours
Warm and comforted
By a sense of pure empathy
I felt valued
The first time
Soft lips, earnest and tender,
Fell across my own lips
With feelings so blessed
I felt treasured
The first time
I was embraced by your arms
Touching me gently
So strong – still so gentle
I felt important
The first time
I knew that I held your heart
With all of my being
I knew the meaning of caring
I felt appreciated
The first time
I gave you the song of my soul
Reaching out to you
Letting go of all control
I felt prized
The first time
I allowed you to see into my world
Where no one else had visited
Where only God had been
I felt respected
The first time
I realized that you were the answer
To every prayer I’d prayed
For someone to give to generously
I felt loved
Thank you, dear husband
For being the one to bring to me
All the joy that comes from knowing
God has answered a prayer
For someone who truly cares!
I love you!
