The first
The first
Responsibilities was slung over the shoulder
A shield for the ones behind
Protection, an essence of the options, that would be chosen from,
Counsel, to be the stars that would guide the path
The first
Was not a choice
Nor was it a burden
But a life
That would be lived out
The first could not have chosen to be the last to have come after the race
Nor could the first have chosen to have un-become the first
Responsibilities slung over the shoulder
Shielding for the ones behind
The first, brought the joys over what was feared could not have
The first, conquered over the fears, of what ifs, it does nots
The first, brought lessons, of new, to ones who felt they should’ve known
And with lessons
The first, brought feeling of happiness, joy, grace, love, and all goodness
To ones, who had not think, they could’ve felt.
The first.
