First
Time Excitement
by
Barbara Philbrook
First time
excitement is what we feel,
when for the first time we experience something with
zeal.
The first
time your child calls out to you,
or even their first smile, I remember each of those too.
The first
trembling step each child takes.
The first personal present each lovingly makes.
The first
day at school and the first part in a play.
I can still remember each in a special way.
The first
ride on a bike wobbling till they fall.
Each memory is forever. I treasure them all.
The first
dance they nervously attend,
and of course the first broken heart you help to mend.
The first
glance on each of them as they wed.
The joy you felt as their vows they said.
The first
glance at the grand babies and the cycle begins once
more.
More precious memories to lovingly adore.
If we as
sinners experience such joy in the firsts,
imagine God's joy as we discover He'll quench our
thirsts.
The first
time excitement must be something to see,
when God hears the first prayers said by you and me.
