I never know what date it is
unless it is today.
This date – this very date –
that changed the world.
Though nobody seems
to know that is the case.
Today she opened her eyes
saw all and changed everything.
She spread her light around
and over everything –
mine dimmed before
I even came to life.
Though nobody seems
to know this even happened.
Today she first looked
and was looked upon.
And that changed everything*
*for me.
