12-12-12

What a great day here do I behold! Twelve-Twelve-Twelve An unusual day of a lifetime accuracy With significant multiples of twelve A purposed twelve numeral by God Twelve sons of Jacob, Twelve tribes of Israel, Twelve apostles of the lamb This accurate day never was witnessed Will I see thee again? Till sepulcher sleep thou art gone forever. never can thou add to it a bit. Clock keeps calculating day and night Twelve ampersand twelve equals twenty-four The response is “thy days are numbered” And my heart saw God’s law. Like the wisest richest king Solomon The foolish one keeps chasing the wind Why then had I become wise? Sepulcher sleep at hand

Did you write this one four years ago around this time? I wonder if anything extra special happened that day! A very fascinating thing to write about!

Yes, it was written four years ago around this time. I was very happy to witness that day because it takes another one hundred years before such a date could come back. As per the month, we can have 12, as per the day, we can have 12 but as per the year we have to wait for another 100 years. Which means we would have 12-12-13, 12-12-14, 12-12-15, 12-12-16, 12-12-17 etc. Until 2112, we shall never have 12-12-12. Thanks Andrea for this great enquiry.
