Poem: To the first ones
By: Civa Bhusal
I adore everything-
That came first in my life
The first book I read
The first game I played
The first lap – I slept on
The first alphabet – I learnt
At school
The first day of the year
The first month of the college
My first love
The first taste –
Of liquor
The first women
I saw in my life –
And started calling her – my mom
The first man
I saw in my life –
And started calling him – my father
The first tutor
I saw in my life–
And started calling him – my Guru
The first place
I stepped my feet in-
And started calling it –my home
The first moment of happiness
The first scream for survival
The first flash of fury
The first aura of tranquility
I adore everything –
That came first in my life.
Every first moments of life
Are indeed, like the –
Antique statuette of the past
Still
They remain as fresh as the lusty grass
Of the morning
