Sweet child,
when you reach the age of ten
do not be very glad.
Be happy a bit,
but not much.
Be prepared to
a new counting
that is binary.
After all,
two-digit numbers
are not very good assurances
of smiles.
The more numbers you own
the more distraught you‘ll be.
Please be reminded
that at ten,
you will carry a zero with you
just like a traveler‘s load.
Do not mess with zeroes child.
You may not count things with it
but it will bear you
new things to count,
to fathom.
Always bear in mind that
this is the way to count now.
Be strong and steady like 1;
that's how two-digits are.
And make sure your zeroes will turn into new numbers,
and to things that open up
to new zeroes
because child, we are binary creatures.
We live one for what we are made of,
and another one for what we dream of.
Be happy about this child.
But not much.
