For the First Time

When I woke up,
For the first time,
Truly,
I hurried out of bed,
Got dressed for school

When I had breakfast,
For the first time,
Sadly,
My stomach hurt so much
I felt nauseous

When I went to school,
For the first time,
Weirdly,
Everything was different,
Only darkness

When I ate my lunch,
For the first time,
Lonely,
No one sat next to me,
Even my friends

When I ate dinner,
For the first time,
Strangely,
Everybody was gone,
Even my dog


When I took a walk,
For the first time,
Curiously,
There was a funeral,
I went to see

When I entered the church,
For the first time,
Bravely,
I saw everyone,
I wondered why

When I saw myself,
For the first time,
Sorrowfully,
I knew that I was dead,
Everything fits

When I saw an angel,
For the first time,
Joyfully,
I knew that this was it,
My destiny

When I saw heaven,
For the first time,
Peacefully,
I spread my wings and flew,
Goodbye to Earth
