Firsts

There are many firsts in life…
They occur only once…
yet happen over and over again
First breath
First tooth
First step
First birthday
First day of school
First crush
First kiss
First car
First job
There is one first more significant than all the others…
One we search for,
stumble into,
are surprised by…
First love
It is a first that brings a swirl of feelings, 
thoughts, 
dreams
beyond any other first
In a long list of firsts,
Love stands apart
