A bakers dozen is a happy number
A welcome bonus extra when received
Unless you have been led to believe
Thirteen portends misfortune
Having no trace of triskaidekaphobia
Or any superstitions about numbers
You calendared our date to remember
Thirteen years since we first kissed
Relationships are important
You said back then ready to engage
And I have you to thank for how it worked out
As close to perfect as is possible
And when I think back on where we have been
Glad for each step we took to join our lives
Amazed at how it keeps getting better
You know I love you more and more
We have been lucky in love
To find each other and have these years
Living together happily in good health
Enjoying each other's presence
We count our shared years adding up
To have and to hold and to savor each one
But the one we are living right now
This is the best year of all
