07 - 07 – 07 Poem by Dela Bobobee

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 see 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
