A first breath means life is put into your lungs,

A first sleep gives you a rest after your journey, 

A first tear is for those things that can't go right,

A first chubby little grin is for those things that can't go wrong.

 

A first word symbolizes the things you will say,

A first step, for the balance and progress in your life,

A first picture, or scribble, for everything you create,

A first chunk of real food, for new things to try.

 

A first haircut is a test of patience, and obedience,

A first day of school, shows how you will learn and grow,

A first best friend helps with future relations,

A first graduation, even from Elemantary, shows that you can make it.

 

A first love at first sight, means to think things through,

A first heartbreak, exposes you to the world of sadness and dissapointment.

A first kiss gives you refreshment and releif and 

then it brings you around the love cycle again.

 

A first child shows you how much you can care for one single person,

Their first breath puts life into your lungs,

A first smile puts a joy in your heart,

And their first tear makes you hold them closer and cherish them even more.

 

Their first day of school, is about learning to let go,

Their first heartbreak is more a pain to you, than to them.

Their first child starts to make you realize, that this will be over soon.

Your last breath, is giving your life to that little child.

 

I love you, Grandma.
