Do you remember the first time. The very first time. You never did it before so it was really the first time. And you knew it at the time. You realized that this was the first time. I suppose the last time you do it it will be just as memorable but I have to believe that nothing truly replaces the first time.
That sweet first time. Did you understand at the time that it was going to be that memory that stays with you throughout time. Maybe you did and maybe not but let’s revisit that moment. You know the one.
Was it the first day of school? The first step of your first child? The first A on the test? The first asking that special boy or girl out on a date? The first holding of hands? The first kiss on your cheek that meant more than other things would mean later on? The first moment you knew you found the one? The first time you knew you lost that one?
I remember the first time I watched television. It was a miracle that we couldn’t believe. I remember the first time we stayed up late listening to The Lone Ranger on the radio. Christmas was so filled with wonder that first year I remembered it.. The first wrappings and unwrappings of the gifts. I remember the sparkle of wonder in the eyes of my little girls when they read Santa’s note on Christmas Day. They stood in silent amazement. And we didn’t even have a chimney. What is the first time moment for you that still brings a happy tear to your eye, a lump to your throat and a memory of pure innocence.
Keep the firsts in your heart. They are your ticket to the land of wonder.
