Not Just a Number

I hear the common saying.
It's just a number, they say.
You know they don't mean it.
I know its more then a number.

It's a precise answer.
To an undying question.
What other explanation.
Can make such perfect sense?

No need to worry, they say.
There's nothing more there.
They seem to think I understand.
Cause they soon brush by.

It's just a number I tell myself.
No need to dwell anymore.
On such trifling matters.
Such as these notions.

 It makes me wonder.
If it's some sort of guide.
To help us lost souls.
On our journey of a lifetime.

This is the answer.
I just know it!
Time doesn't have a grasp.
This is more then just galaxies.

It's just a number, they said.
How I scoff at them now.
I now know it's more then that.
The answer that baffles most.

This is the journey for sure.
This took me through time.
Through galaxies and adventures.
My answer is, 42.
