First Crush 

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
