So Far, So Good

The first encounter with life,

The first faint breath,

The first shrieking cry,

The first blur sight,

So Far, so good.

The first word I mumbled,

The first tender smile,

The first infirm step,

The sweet pleasure I found

In my mothers arms,

That first day at school,

The first alphabet I spelled,

The first friends I made,

The first game I played,

So far, so good.

The first day at college,

That innocent charm,

Those lively-lovely days,

The first crush,

The many crushes,

Those beautiful eyes,

The unattained love,

The ride in the last benches,

So far, so good.

Those days of solitude,

Those faithful friends,

The not-so-faithful ones,

The unexpressed feelings,

The hidden emotions,

The fights, reunites,

The sleepless nights,

Those delights,

All, so far, so good.

Those memorable moments,

The tears of joy,

The desire to laugh,

To love, To live,

All, so far, so good…
