Reflections on the Mystery of the Number 16 in 16 lines.
Sixteen is an awesome number!
Its numeric root is seven,
which emphasizes
the sacred mystery
of reality.

Sixteen candles,
at sweet sixteen:
why is growing up every girl's dream?

Sixteen red roses
in a lead crystal vase:
do they symbolize courage,
beauty,
passion,
respect,
love,
forgiveness, or grace?
