Sixteen blinks of an eye
In a wink, time did fly
It was only yesterday
When a golden circle of hope
Looped around a lonely heart
A planet of sunbeam sans a chart
Laced with honey and warmth
A miniscule cosmos for two
Only just made their way
Into the sweeping universe
It was only yesterday
When the blue twilights
Seemed to never end
And the daylight saving
Could hardly be saved
And someday, they were
As the sun rose again
And took away the pain
It was only yesterday
When an angel came along
Swathed in white feather
And a halo of silken promise
To be the joy bringer
With a touch of its finger
It was only yesterday
The beginning of a saga
An epoch-making declaration
Pages read in nanoseconds
Making a history of truth
Regeneration of an oath
Sixteen blinks ago
In a wink of awe
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every beam
Anew.
