My First Love



My First Love

I had begun to feel myself in love
While I was a little girl only five
When I had grown enough to feel alive
The age when you are innocent and naive

I had my little five fingers
To fall, to run, to play and to pray
To have fun...
making stuff with sand and clay

With my five toes...
I learned to walk with grace
As I loved every moment
When with my friends
I tried to speed, to race and chase

Then I have five organs on my face
That help me
to know and learn in different ways
To enjoy art, music, games, crafts and dance
Giving my dreams and imaginations another chance
