First Nights

My baby

Knew her love

Was strong in me

And now I go

Where I need to

I lay my feet down

And wait

Even now

I can hear the curtain

Call out our names

As if we plan

To run away

I hope this feeling

Forever stays

Hold you in place

How lucky am I

To hold you

Without a doubt

With all of it figured out

As she smiles

I take a bow

I let

Myself notice a pain

Didn’t let it stain

I held it in high regard

As I guard

The picture in your frame

My love

Is strong in her

So now she goes

Where she needs to

I lay my feet down

And wait
