To All the Girls That Will Never Be First

We were never first. 

 

We were not chosen first on the playground for games. 

We never stood out enough for leads in classroom plays. 

No one ever chose us first. 

 

We never had the right clothes or wore our hair the right way. 

We liked the wrong music and read the wrong books. 

No one ever chose us first. 

 

We sang off key and fought for second chair. 

We never spoke when we should and when we did everyone stared. 

No one ever chose us first. 

 

We were quiet, we were shy. 

We never were noticed and it made us cry. 

No one ever chose us first. 

 

We were in love, but he didn’t see. 

We had a heart that would love faithfully. 

No one ever chose us first. 

 

We became tired of being last in the race.

We had finally had enough of trying to keep up with the pace.

No one ever chosen us first. 

 

He reached his perfect hand to my cheek.

It was always Him that I would seek.

No one had ever chosen me first. 

 

His gentle love washed all my sin free. 

Over the 99 He had sought just me.

No one had ever chosen me first. 

 

We are Queens of an everlasting love. 

His bleeding hands and broken body declares it from above. 

YOU are chosen first.
