“For The First Time”
I was just off duty under a tree.
Walked into the store, just to soothe me.
From under the counter came a voice.
She looked up and smile said hi of course!
Fright struck my heart and then my knees,
I asked if she had sugar please.
Even though I shook and quaked,
I made it to the counter, pretty late!
The sorrow I felt I’ll never dream.
When this little girl, handed me the cream.
When the girl picks you to be the one,
The arms are open, early Dawn!
