firstly a poem contest prompt was "the first time". Immediately the roberta flack/george michael iconic song jumps out at you. But then there was a resonate with formative years with a loving mother which came to the fore and it developed from there.

Lyrics:

                                                  
the first time
was when she sang to me
and I saw the skies, in her eyes
and I knew then, love was my destiny
follow a sun, always on the rise

it was in my early morn
I first could hear her heartbeat
to me her love was already sworn
as I gazed on this smile so sweet

the first time
was when she sang to me
and I saw the skies, in her eyes
and I knew then, love was my destiny
follow the sun, that never cries

in her warmth I grew stronger
and she taught me how to care
and I knew as the day grew longer
her inner strength, would help me share

the first time
was when she sang to me
and I saw the skies, in her eyes
and I knew then, love was my destiny
follow the sun, that never lies

days are followed by a twilight zone
so it must be we would have to part
whilst she’s gone, I am not alone
as she is always in my heart

the first time
was when she sang to me
and I saw the skies, in her eyes
and I knew then, love was my destiny
follow the sun, that never dies
