The reasoning of my favorite number



THE NUMBER NINE

From the beginning of time,
to the limitless future.
from the idea of zero,
to the infinite numbers.
My number has been called,
so small but so strong.
The last number you will see,
As an individual, is me.
I am the number nine,
I am the last you will see.
Of those infinite numbers,
existing from me.
When digits add on counting,
nines will come and go again.
you've seen that shape before,
you know where it began.
The first ten in the cycle,
thumbs and fingers on the hands.
I'm the last that you will see
the first of which, I am.
