First impressions, only one chance to make,
no way to erase a foolish mistake.
Where ever we go, and whatever we do,
comes right back to reward or haunt you.
We all leave traces of ourselves behind,
make sure our passage was respectful and kind.
It may sound cliche', but adopt the Golden Rule,
who wants to be remembered for being a fool.
If we all took pride in what we do and say,
we could bring a smile and make someone's day.
First impressions, only one chance to make,
so make it a great one, for everyone's sake.

This is so very true...You can forget everything...but never the first impression that was made....
And I must say..not only my first impresson of you was a great one
Everything that came after that was beautiful too
You're a wonderful Lady and so is your poem
Good luck in this contest, and to speak with your words
my first impression was this is GOLD

I loved the flow and rhyme...and a powerful reminder of the striking reality of the impact of first impressions...sort of sad how important they are when you think about it, isn't it. Unique and nice take on the prompt, thanks so much for the entry.

WONDERFUL!!!
I know I often speak before thinking and then feel so bad. We should all try to stop and think and do what is right.
