"My First Kiss"

My First Kiss.

I closed my eyes for a moment
wishing a dream to come true
seeing you in the yellow bus
standing up waving a smile
in the corner of my eye.

Jimmy Brown the bully
laughing at me the clown
red in my face to realize
you were staring at him
with your beautiful eyes.

Winking as if it were a joke
hey Billy boy can you sing
or dance with me for a kiss
hiding in the gym after school
there we can be best friends.

Surprised, I tried to answer
knowing my voice to stutter
but I closed my eyes to pray
O If only I may kiss you now
then my fears will fly away.

I'm seven years old today
riding on the yellow bus
waiting to tell my folks,
I kissed a girl at school
her name is Sally May.

Mommy, help me pray
I may marry her one day,
happily in the yellow bus
her smiling kisses for me
to remember yesterdays.
