DAY ONE

Hard to grasp how I knew
19, with a pretender's polish
Still, I know I knew
...from Day One

Easy to recall, even now
that early morning confirmation
of the first New Arrival
A matchless joy, later matched!

Hard to grasp when looking back
that 2 and 20 years have passed
half the life I've lived
half the life I've left

Easy to recall to your face at 17
your veil at 21
Across the years I'll love you
from Day One till Day Last
