My First Love

The initial

Original

Your love was my foremost

You were like Eve, the woman given life from the very rib

As innocent as a helpless baby sleeping in a crib

You were bare and beautiful before my eyes

Introductory

The primary

You were my gift from the creator

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh

United as one, such primitive love

In all paradise under God’s law

My premier

My first care

God said, “Be fruitful and multiply”

To every command we must comply

With this fundamental love

A love moulded from the Garden of Eden

The highest

Earliest

This love is from inception

And after are tears and years of pain

No longer a fantastic love from elementary

Wonderful as angels; no longer rudimentary
