Losing Your First Tooth

The pain, the awe, the tears no more
All your emotions set free at once.
One small little object that stuns young minds.
The sensation of losing your first tooth.
We smile gapped toothy grins.
Our hearts and heads full of glee.
We feel the sudden urge to pull out more,
The sensation of losing your first tooth.
So much excitement surging through the air,
So many innocent believing faces,
So many questions to solve,
The sensation of losing your first tooth.
The happiness can be felt in the air,
Many lisps to be heard.
The gooey gum exposed to the world,
The sensation of losing your first tooth.
We can hear the tinkling of money.
And we examine our yellow object with interest.
But when we are older with children of our own,
The same thing will happen to them and the wonder will live on.
