One

One


In one second, your life could end
In one moment, this world could make sense

In one blink, your life could pass you by
In one step, a mountain you could climb

in one truth, all knowledge is found
In one tear, all your pain is unbound

In one kiss, your body aches for more
In one touch, you feel your heart soar

In one breath, a new life can begin
In one smile, an inkling of hope transcends

In one prayer, and single gift gives rise
In one look into your child's eyes, your one reason for living resides

    I'm not really a sucker for these types of things, so I wasn't completely drawn in... But, this was a very interesting write. I enjoyed it, and it seemed very well done.

    Good write

    How wonderful true. In something as small as ONE a life can change. I love the ending for that is how I felt the moment my son was born. My whole world changed to never be the same. I would not give it back for anything.
    Beauty in truth.
    Best to you, sweet poet!

    I really like this poem. Very well written... very true. In a blink of an eye so much can be missed as well. I almost missed this... almost. Thanks, Kj
