Numbers Along The Way

So many numbers out there, but which ones do I choose
Twelve takes center stage, the day I joined the family tree
Seven, the time I rise and get ready for work, or just to go out and play
Four, a time to return home, or perhaps do some errands along the way
Nine the day I got married and a new journey began
 Fourteen, Valentines Day, a night of love and romance to plan
Twenty -eight, the day my beautiful daughter entered the world to join me
Twenty-five Christmas Day, a festive time I am sure we all agree 
And who could forget nine / eleven, that fateful day when terrorists had their way
Just think of all the numbers we have to deal with every single day
Without numbers, we would not be able to figure almost anything out
Just think of an election when they went to count the vote, finding a winner would always be in doubt
