Twelve Going On Forever (An Anniversary Poem So Obviously Written By A Homeschooling Mom)

Twelve plus twelve is twenty-four
Just one plus five plus twenty more
The sum a hearty five score:
but just a blink with him I adore.

The secrets are ours
all whispered in ears
from One who loves in power
Who speaks to those who hear

A cord of just two, no matter how twisted,
the fate of that cord is unsure and unlisted
But a cord of three strands is not easily broken,
The Third Strand so very much more than a token.

  4. Mom, I’m not sure how to answer that…What exactly has you stumped?? The math itself or what it’s doing in a poem? :-)
