No Number

You are not a number
You are my lovely wife

There is no number
that defines you.

No clock ticks
in your name.

You are beautiful, smart
and Heroic.
All the others wish they
could join your game.

No Number will ever say
hello to you or kiss you on
those pretty cheeks,

That’s my job and I’m glad
to do every day of the week.

What would you do if I said
You were twenty-two?
And my dream come true
All the days of my life?

What’s a number?

No number defines
Your heart or that twinkle
In your eyes or that
glorious come home smile.

You are so much more than a silly
Number wrapped up in a present
Or blown out with the candles

Because no number
Could affect me
Like you do.

No number
