The First Sign

I Was Sitting All Alone When ,

You Sat Next To Me And Didn't Say A Word .

With A Smile On Your Face ,

And Looked Into My Eyes .

I Giggled A Little ,

You Scooted Closer .

My Hands Set To My Sides ,

Your Hand Moved Slowly Toward Mine .

You Grasped My Hand Firmly ,

I Squeezed Yours At Exactly The Same Time .

That's When I Noticed ,

You Gave Me The First Sign .

That's When I Fell In Love

For The Very First Time .

The poem is written by my 14 year-old niece who has the gift of poetic writing. The words are expressive through a young girls eyes when she has realized love for the first time. I am in awe of her talent at such a young age and we are so blessed to have her in our presence. We hope that one day she to will publish her work but right now, her eye is on becoming a photographer. She has many more that I will publish for her so that the world knows that although our own youth has passed, does not mean that talent has been forgotten.
