The summer I was fifteen
I was celebrating my upcoming birthday
Waiting for the clock to strike twelve
Excited about being a year older
Waiting for what was to come
The following day.
Ding, ding, ding!!!
The clock struck twelve
My birthday came.
August had arrived.
I became sixteen.
I drifted to sleep on pink clouds
And woke up bathed in blue sunlight
Seven hours later
Getting ready for the coming day.
I was sixteen!!!! Yaa!!!!
I felt so blessed
I had to thank God
For letting me see that day,
The day I was able to see.
