A SPECIAL DAY (Anja Kowalski)

When I woke up this morning I heard the dog barking three times
1-2-3-times
And I thought
That's a sign
Today is gonna be a special day

I ran down the stairs, three steps at once
3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27
Then I put on my red pants and the green socks with the yellow butterflies
That I had prepared for exactly that day

At once the bell was ringing three times
long-short -long
It was the postman
His eyes were twinkling while he gave me a package in the form of a triangle
I thought
This can't be a coincidence
That's sign
Today is my lucky day

I ate three quarter of an apple
Exactly the right breakfast for that kind of day

Then I went to the bathroom
I took all of my pills
The red, yellow, green, blue, purple ones
They all disappeared in the toilet in one flush

I opened the door and I ran out on the street
People were smiling at me
Like they knew
That something magic was going to happen

So I was running uphill
I was running and running and running
Because I knew for sure
That there behind the nexte corner
It would happen
Yes
3-2-1
Ahhh
