Heed the call, here and now-- witness the elation that this day bestows. We return once again on this grand holiday to revel and be merry that we can experience it once more. Every year that passes, we may appreciate more and more the gifts given by the day of 3/10. Though a normal day for some; a day like any other, 'tis a day we celebrate for reasons gone unsmothered.

A day that cannot be taken-- a day that can never pass
A day that comes and goes for as long as we may last
A day with no grandeur-- no lights or special prayers
A day with only gratefulness as we march those time-bound stairs
A day that shall fade to memory when tradition is forgotten
A day that shall survive today, for this ritual is not yet rotten

Born from jest yet still rings true-- have a happy March 10th, from me to you.

'Twas the night before March 10th, when all under the clouds
Reveled in delight, and groups grew to crowds;
With reasons aplenty they wait on day nine,
Staring at clock hands so smooth and so fine;
They share in their stories and their mass only grows,
Every clock tick sends shivers from head down to toes;
Rhythmic thumping rings out like a beat of a drum,
as those who lie waiting chug watered down rum;
"'Tis finally here!" One portly man shouts,
"Nay, still a minute!" The host wisely touts;
With starry-eyed stares and smiles aplenty
The gathering had grown to quite nearly twenty;
With garb oh-so-festive and spirits quite high,
They stared at that clock hand, with all knowing why;
The once yearly date full of blessings so pure,
And with seconds to go, they yearned for their cure;
The voices rang out from Paris to Drenthe,
A cheerful resounding "Happy March tenth!"

It's hard to believe that the occasion is upon us once again-- to have made it one more year on this Earth and get to experience the most glorious of days. When I was a boy, I remember being given an important lesson-- that when the call of March 10th comes, we must respect and appreciate it, and count our blessings. This ultimate wisdom changed my life in many ways, and is a lesson that I have not, and will never forget-- it fills me with a sense of peace. Of belonging. Of togetherness.

On this day, we must give thanks. Thanks for our mortal blessings that we share-- thanks for the cherished feelings that 3/10 bestows upon us, and thanks for yet one more chance to experience this.

Happy March 10th, and to all a good night-- may there be many more to come, if we are lucky.
