“One” standing up, life’s lonesome number
Rising today, waking from slumber
One single digit, filled with courage
Stepping up, ready to encourage
One man standing with boldness, alone
Moving against tyranny’s dark throne
One tiny seed maturing to grow
Spawning thick forest, nature’s chateau
One last try remains, taking a chance
Advancing to championship’s dance
One more war, aiming to end all war
Proving to be mankind’s hopeless chore
One single journey, will never do
Touring Yellowstone’s picturesque views
One small voice, singing with gentle praise
Joining life’s chorus, hearts now ablaze
One yummy taste, frozen now in time
Savoring home cooking at mealtime
One kind act, paying forward life’s grace
Sharing love, lighting up darkest place
One heart knocks, opening couple’s door
Adopting this daughter, love cares for
One righteous Son of God, boldly walks
Bearing our sins, Cross forever talks

I like it! So many different “ones” to explore in life with our one Lord shining in the very last lines. 🌟

Thanks Susan. The final words of the poem needed to be reserved for our Lord. Amen.
