My First Love

I looked up into her face with adoration in my eyes. She gazed back at me with the sweetest smile I'd ever seen. My heart began to beat faster as she reached for my hand, and held it in her own. I grasped it tightly, lest she let go. I let my eyes speak my love for her; my overflowing love. She was my all: my very life! Without her I would die, lonely and afraid. But as long as she held me close, I would be just fine.

She leaned towards me and whispered in my ear, "I love you!"

I tried to speak, but the words just wouldn't come. But, that didn't stop me from looking at her with devotion and a look that meant, "'til death do us part!"

Once more she drew me closer, and whispered, "You'll always be my little baby; even when you've grown..."

I gazed up at her and replied in my heart, "And I will always remember you as my first love... Dearest of Mothers!"
