Thirty-Three
After being born at 3:33pm, I am convinced,
That a number is more than a mere coincidence,
Let’s revisit how the number 3 has affected my life,
For 33 years, I was a wife,
Yes, married to my husband until death we did part,
Now I’m faced with a surprising new start,
When I was 33, I was pregnant with my 3rd son,
We had three sons; all were 3 years apart,
They are the 3 joys of my heart,
My dear husband was employed 33 years with IBM,
We were always so very proud of him,
Then his dream job he had for all of 3 years,
With FedEx, which made his beautiful smile reappear,
He loved to work, and work he did,
With his thumbs-up attitude and the excitement of a kid,
June of 2021, marked 3 years since he passed,
My, how time has gone by fast,
The illness was short, but the memories are many,
The heartache is real, but the blessings are plenty,
I often receive #33 when I order a meal,
No one really knows how that makes me feel,
It is a gift to have 3 be my magical number,
Believe me, this number does not encumber,
My new street address is 1333, on lot 73,
As you can see, it was meant to be!
