Eleven is such a fun age to be

You're no longer a baby

Nor as old as eighty-three

​

It's the beginning of a magic act

Based on simple math

And this is a fact

​

See, this birthday where your numbers repeat

Is the start of a cycle

That's really quite neat

​

Every eleven years from here on out

Makes your age the same digits

When it get written out

​

Twenty-two, thirty-three and so on down the line

This fun trick rolls on

'Til the age of ninety-nine

​

If you're lucky enough, you'll see every one

And have undecennial cycles

That are massive amounts of fun

​

So my wish for you, my dear young friends

Is that you follow your heart's truth

And enjoy your life until it ends

​

That every eleven years, when your numbers duplicate

You look back on that cycle

With great fondness, not hate

​

May you surround yourself with what truly makes life sweet

Not things, not power

Not a fat balance sheet

​

No, the secret is simple. Let me share it with you

Do whatever you deeply love

With those whose love for you is true

​

That's it, my friends. My advice is complete

Combine your passions with your people

To live a life that can't be beat
