07/07/07

This morning a little child asked me
"What is today's date, Sir?"
"the seventh day of July, 2007" I replied
and he said," Thank you, Daddy"

and he disappeared into oblivion
I looked for him but could not find him
the realization came as a great shock

and I broke down in tears on my knees
Oh my gracious, how can I overlook this
Today's date is a special one in our lives
this generation has witnessed what can never be

we cross over a millennium into another millennium
Never again can we see another subtle 07/07/07
What now reverberates in my mortal mind is
the way he said it, "Thank you, daddy"

and a sad remorse flushed my throbbing heart
Oh my goodness, I did not thank my creator
when I woke up this morning hale and hearty

Oh Lord, permit me now to say a big thank you
and to all good and bad people I have met in life
for they are the harmony that made my lyrics a song
for in generations our paths may never cross again

when my digital clock read 07:07:07 and date 07/07/07
and I felt this special event will never happen again
at least not in our present lifetime I decided to share
this moment with future generations when I ‘m long gone
