On the day my first love turns 60 I write this poem for Donny Osmond. Trust me I have a lot to thank him for and I still smile when I think of him even now. I’ve given it the title First Crush I hope you enjoy the read.
Happy Birthday Donny X
First Crush.
From the moment that puppy love topped the charts
a teenage singer stole my heart
I was 11 and easy made blush
he was my hero my first real crush
I joined the fan club and got teased
I dreamed when I watched him on TV
he helped me be the girl I became
I smiled every time I heard his name
he was my poster boy forever
the love of my life till the twelfth of never
except he wasn’t, times move on
but still I remember days long gone
these were the days before my teens
I recall songs and magazines
and even now I still blush
when I think of Donny my gorgeous first crush
