My number chose ME

 

This Can’t Be!

My address number is 1333,

I didn’t choose it, it chose me,

While looking at lot number 73,

And contemplating building a house there, you see,

I stood on the site covered in red dirt clay,

And stared at the view I would see every day,

It was a beautiful spot overlooking a retention pond,

With the thick protected forest standing just beyond,

The sunset was pink, and orange and amazing,

Should I take this next step? I thought as I kept gazing,

Then my daughter-in-law asked me a pertinent question,

It was really just in passing, a mere suggestion,

Would you like to know what the address would be?

She said unknowingly to me,

Sure.  I was interested because numbers have always been my key,

She looked on her phone then looked shockingly at me,

Oh wow!  She said, it is house number 1333,

Well, if I was on the fence about making the right decision,

This number was the sign I had needed to end my division,

I jumped off the proverbial fence and signed on the dotted line,

I knew the move was for me and that I would be fine,

MY number is 333,

Always has been and always will be.

Now I reside on lot 73 in a house with the street number 1333!
