13 - a poem I wrote for my adopted son’s 13th birthday

Visible to anyone in the world

13

 

13 is a magic number

If you doubt me, just listen

The first of the teens after

Ten, twelve…almost forgot eleven.

 

13 is a lucky number

That’s what they say in Italy

“Fare tredici” means to do thirteen

Which can make you win the lottery.

 

13 is so American

Count the stripes on their flag

13 stripes stand for the 13 colonies

That colonial America had.

 

13 is rough at times

Just like a game of rugby

Where 13 players run and bounce

Then hold that ball real snugly. 

 

Happy 13th birthday, Rayimon

And as you leave behind twelve

Think of the power of your mind

Always love and improve yourself!
