THE FIRST TIME. [A 4TH APRIL WRITE CHALLENGE AT AWC]
THE MUSIC FOR THIS PIECE...

THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW THE MOUNTAINS FOR REAL I MARVELED AT THE BEAUTY AS THEY SEEMED TO REACH INTO THE HEAVENS ABOVE.
THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW THE EARTH FROM THE WINDOWS OF AN AIRPLANE I WONDERED IF ANYONE DOWN THERE REALLY GAVE A THOUGHT TO HOW LARGE THIS ALL REALLY IS.
THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW A BABY BORN I CRIED CAUSE I KNEW THAT LIFE HAD TO HAVE ITS WAY WITH HER...SO MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
THE FIRST TIME THAT I HEARD THE ADHAN I KNEW THAT I WAS ISLAMIC AND THAT I WOULD BE THIS WAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
THE FIRST TIME THAT A MAN TRIED TO KILL ME I RAN SO FAST THAT MY HEART FELT LIKE IT WOULD BURST.
THE FIRST TIME THAT A POLICEMAN PUT THE HANDCUFFS ON ME I WONDERED WHERE I WAS GOING TO END UP...WHAT WOULD MY MOTHER THINK.
THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW WASHINGTON D.C. I WONDERED WHY THEY NEVER SHOW THE PARK IN BACK OF THE WHITE HOUSE WHERE DRUGS AND BODIES ARE SOLD.
THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CHILD ASKED ME WHERE SHE CAME FROM I WONDERED WHAT TO SAY...COULD SHE RELATE?
THE FIRST TIME THAT I WROTE A PIECE I FELT LIKE MY LIFE HAD SOME VALIDITY...FOR THE FIRST TIME.
