The First Time I Fell in Love

"Love is blind, because Mother started loving me - before she saw my face"

The first time I fell in love

The first time I fell in love; I couldn't understand it.
I was then so young and felt life was a gambit
But to me it didn't matter, this was love at first sight
It was a love that felt, even, righter than right
So I gazed at love.... and love gazed back
See.....the first time I fell? I fell right on track

The first time I fell in love; it was just after I saw her
Didn't take long to fall for her eyes, smile and laughter
She was the first to hold me the perfect way
She knew just the perfect words to say
So I smiled and laughed without knowing why
Didn't have to struggle. Didn't have to try

The first time I fell in love; she told me to be quiet
Didn't understand why, but I knew to keep silent
She was so very tired, like she'd just come from a run
She was so very beautiful and shone like the sun
I had reached for her hand, but instead grabbed her heart
And that was the moment that I knew love would start

The first time I fell in love; I was barely 6 minutes old
Even young, then, I was forming Mr. Man 'Brave and the Bold'
I didn't know then... that love was a word
For me - it was a woman, whose heart I had heard
I had travelled from creation, from Hands up aboveTo see my mother. My first ever love.

Happy

Mothers

Day!!!
