First Smile
By Susan Lynn Perry


One, two, three and more,
The months fly by; I cannot lie.

It's magical,
mystical,
horrendous,
stupendous.

I'm overjoyed, overwhelmed.
I want more.
I can't take anymore.

The day comes, and I'm done.
He smiled, and I'm stunned.
That's all it took - that look.

I love him more than before.
