07/07/07

This morning a little child asked me"What is today's date, Sir?"
"the seventh day of July, 2007" I repliedand 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
