103 ... 103 ... 103 ... This Is Your Day

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Every page
I post today
—being February 15, 2024—
will reference 
the number
103
in honor of
acknowledged
on the previous page
 
Had she never existed
then the same 
could be said
of  me

Regarding the latter's non-existence,
delight, joy, and caramel creme
would be celebrated
by 103,000 people
within a radius 
of 103 miles
of my home

Regarding the former's non-existence,
all that is beautiful
on this planet
would be
severely compromised

    As a tribute to your Mother, no one could fault you,
    despite the fact that very similar tributes to your birth-giver
    have occurred at least 103 times
    within your "GodFather Of Math" trilogy.
