The First Time

The First Time

I held you in my arms tonight,

As an Oreo you ate;

All chocolate mess and sticky,

You didn’t care that it was late.

Mom and Dad were showing their new truck,

While I held you in my arms;

You held me tight and wanted kisses,

I was a captive of your charms.

You covered me in gooey chocolate,

And pressed your fingers to my shirt;

Then as you pointed…called me “Nana”;

With the widest grin, you little flirt!

Those first words of recognition,

Now, you’ve given me a name;

With naming me, you stole my heart,

I’ll never again be quite the same.

They didn’t tell me at your birth,

The joy in store, you see;

The first time you called me, “Nana”, 

                                           With Love meant for only me!
