1,000,000 Tell me,

The sheer magnitude of the number can’t be denied !

Almost twelve days And a MILLION can be measured in so many ways!

If you stack the paper up A Million sheets high It would be Toward the sky!

1,000,000,000 Tell me,

The sheer magnitude of the number can’t be denied !

For a Billion Seconds has all the hopes and fears That a person would live through in over This is me at 30!

And if you stack the paper up it would make A COSMIC stepping stone That would make a ROUND TRIP to the ozone!

1,000,000,000,000 Tell me,

The sheer magnitude of the number can’t be denied!

Let’s say we take a trip A TRILLION seconds back through time The first man who could write this would not even be alive!

And if we stack the paper up To help us comprehend The pile would be so high We could not even see the end =====  A third of the way to the moon !

When I think of all the To places in the universe : A TRILLION is a number very SMALL!

Our galaxy: The Milky Way 5,800,000,000,000,000,000 miles across. < ,000 light years--  Alpha Centauri = 25,000,000,000,000 Miles away!

And the galaxies go on and on And we find more every day!

The numbers written out would Not even fit on a page!! 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000…

1,000,000 Tell me,

The sheer magnitude of the number just blows my mind!
