Eight
June 19, 2022
There are 8 pretty petals
in a beautiful leather flower
And Santa has 8 amazing reindeer
Stop signs have 8 sides
And the wisdom tooth is the 8th tooth
8 is the atomic number
Of oxygen, the element we need to survive
A computer byte has 8 bits
And well, it takes 8 minutes
for the sun's light to reach us
The solar system has 8 planets
YOU are the 8th wonder of the world
And there are 8 lines in a triolet
There are 8 letters in 'Precious'
And you are that to me
I love you to eight-turned horizontally
And beyond

@Afra, this is beautiful. My fav line was you are the 8th wonder of the world. That made my day.And also, an octagon has 8 lines. 8 turned horizontally is infinity and that's why it's lucky, according to my opinion. <3
8 is not MY lifepath number...
(It's 3, if you wanna know)
