I awoke at that precise moment
0:00 on the blackberry
A new day, a special day, a teenage dream
Yes, there at last, or perhaps too soon
The beginning of the start of the end
Thought process so intimidated by possibilities
Capturing the past in a nano second
Running backwards to look forwards
Now, in the presence of the present
Seeing a youngster, no longer
Watching a blossoming process enter its next stage
Horribly frightened, yet very impressed
Wide awake, on this, September the third
The third momentous thirteen years of the this life
A mark, laid down by religion, though this time, celebrated otherwise
Anxious to sleep, aching for rest
Ready, but not for another few hours, to celebrate
This time, that will come again, though never on this day
Meaningful and memorable and so very special
