Friday the Birthteenth

Unlucky for some
The day of my birth
Fridays of thirteenth find horror
Yet happiness surrounds me
Thirty-six years have come before
In a year where hindsight's truth
Bring longing for time restored.

I have lived on the 13th floor for many years with no ill effects, but all of my neighbours died. We must be the lucky ones! Aloha! Rico
