You Were The First
by James ZealyWe were young
Infants at loving
Innocent of Intimacy
You were the first
You are the last
It seems part of the plan
I was your first
I am your last
Its defined in the plan
We were broken
We were lonely
We found love and laughter
Warriors at life
We fought, lost and won
Survived our family lunacy
Our outline was written
Played as our first song
Back in 1975
You were the first
You are the last
Its part of the plan
01/10/2008 Author's Note: Souvenirs by Dan Fogelberg was the first music I ever bought for my wife of 32 years. We have had a soft place in our heart for his music ever since. We never plan for what life gives us, sometimes survival is the challenge. We have survived the worst, and somehow that unplanned Mantra "Part of The Plan" seems to define what we have been through. God bless you Where ever you are Mr Fogelberg.

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 01/10/08 at 03:34 PM Survival is the challenge? Indeed. Well said, and I think that sentiment comes across very well in the poem. |
