First Night

Days of wait in excitement

final hours now to go

through have been moments of different kind

both up and down a sinusoid

just awaiting patiently for this very day

Like a bride on her first night

so I anxious the same

excitement filled with fear

know not outcome turn out how

Oh a bride on her first night

nerves active within her stomach

along with the butterflies

Look into the mirror

preparing for the moment

look into her soul

prepare to lose control

look into her mind

reminder remain sane

look into her heart

what really does she want

satisfaction not hers alone

How a bride thinking on her first night

fearing disappointment
knowing anxiety

scared to death of failure

But the bride on her first night

opened up readily receive

when the time comes

so her husband

and the following

come what may!
