The first memory is always of Her
You don’t remember Him,
You don’t remember They,
You don’t even remember the warm circle of Sleep.
You just remember Her.
You remember being wrapped in Her warm arms
Remember seeing Her smile
Remember hearing Her for the first time.
And She’s the most wonderful thing you’ve heard
Because She is the first thing you know
And She will be your first memory.
And as life goes on
And you meet Him
And you meet They
And you learn about the circle of Sleep,
You don’t care.
Because you know Her.
She is the one who cradled you when you cried.
She is the one who rubbed your tummy when you were sick.
She was the first person you cried to when you feel down
Because She always knew what to do.
She’s the one you talk to when things at school go wrong
(Because She understands you better than Him,
Because She was exactly like you
Because you’re exactly like Her).
She’s the one you ask when something new happens
(Because She went through it too
Because She knows what’s going on
Because you’re Her Daughter).
She’s the one you cry to when someone hurts you
(Because She’s there to listen
Because She wants to be there for you
Because She loves you the most).
And as you grow older
And you meet a Him
And you get married
And you have children of your own
Sleeping in their circle of Sleep,
You’ll know what their first memory will be of.
And it won’t be of muffled Voices
It won’t be of the Sleep
It won’t be Him
And it won’t be They.
It’ll be You.
Since you’ll be Her.
Mom.
