Seven Haiku for Number One

Little Hilary
Birthday girl with a mission:
She is number one

Chronological?
Mere birth order doesn't count
At least in her mind

Do numbers matter?
In this context, no, you see
They're all number one

Keep the record straight
Numbers sort by age only
Not by affection

Each is number one
Even numbers two and three
Year-round, ev'ry day

All our kids are great
Though each very different
Did you want clone kids?

So that's my haiku
Birthday and everyday
You're all number one
