First heart to ever love me,
First voice I ever heard…
Its soothing music sweet
Before I under stood a word
First face I learned to recognize,
First smile I ever saw,
Eyes looking into mine
Alight with love and pride and awe.
First hands to guide my wobbly steps
Or swing me to and fro,
First arms to hold me safe and snug
Yet leave me room to grow,
First confidante to listen
To the things I had to say,
First friend to know my hopes and drams…
First in my heart today.
