The first time

I dated Irene

sure felt good

to be old enough

and allowed to

dance close after

all the staying

apart rules with

arms extended as

feet tried not

to trip over

each other and

saw her nervous

she was as me

a 13 year-old

moving erratically

across the high

school floor

teachers monitoring

our emotions and

I wondered if

marrying this girl

might be a part

of life’s plan.

I remember my first date too Richard. Sometimes I think of how young people these days get to know and have innocent fun. No jokes I don't think they have the social skills, it was hard enough for us. My girl wasn't really popular with the boys but I liked her a lot. She was clever and she had guts. Her life after school was very tragic she was very long sick with brain tumours and after a fight of many years she passed. I tried to be good for her.

All the best and God's peace & Nolan
