The Final First Time Poem by Jim Yerman

The first time they held hands…
as they walked along the shore…
was when they began to understand…
what hands were created for.


The first time they hugged one another
felt like they had never hugged before…
it was then they began to understand
what arms were created for.


The first time their lips met
left each of them wanting more
and it was then they began to understand
what lips were created for.


The first time they fell in love
they knew it would last forevermore
and it was then they began to understand
what hearts were created for.
