It was my first steps that led me to my first run

The first time I competed in a race

Or the first time I played in a soccer game

It was my first words that led me to my first sentence

The first time I gave a speech before an audience

Or the first time I was involved in an argument

It was my first addition that led me to my first subtraction

The first time I solved for "x"

Or the first time I used a logarithm

However, it was the first time that I held a pencil that led me to the first day of the rest of my life

The first time I wrote a short story: "If You Give A Cat Coffee"

Or the first time I wrote a poem that reflected who I am

There is a first time for everything

And trust me, the first time is always the best time

I want to live a life of firsts, and not a life of nevers.
