" The  Value  of ...  One "

(John 3: 16  /  2 Pet. 3: 9  /  Matt. 10: 29, 30*, 31)


A Rose When It Loses ...
... One, Lovely, Colorful Blossom
I See It On The Ground
And Mourn Its Lost From It's Bosom

For It Adds To Eventual Bareness
of The Rose's Being
and with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing
____________


The Leaves On A Tree Limb ...
... When One Detaches and Falls Down
I See It On The Ground
One More Added To A Mound

As It Adds
To Its Bareness of Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

____________


A Blanket of Snow-Crystals ...
... When One Snowflake Melts
All Snow Loses A Piece of Ground
And Its Absence Is Felt

And It Adds
To The Bareness of Its Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

____________


Roofs Have Frozen Icicles ...
... And As Each 'One' Drop Drips
And Soaks Into The Ground
Its Formation Fades & Slips

And Adds
To The Bareness of Its Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

____________


If Teeth Aren't Properly Cared For ...
... And One Tooth Comes Out
Smiles, Are On The Ground
And Covered Within A Closed Mouth

As It Adds
To The Bareness of Its Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

___________


A Full Head of Hair ...
... But When One Folicle From A Strand
Happens To Fall To The Ground
Concerns Both - A Woman Or A Man

For It Adds
To Bare-Headedness of A Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

____________


24 Hours In A Day ...
... But Just Be One Minute, Too Late
To Catch A Train Running To Ground
That One Minute - Just Didn't Wait

It Adds To
The Bareness of Broken Schedules-Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I am seeing

____________


The Countless Stars of Heaven ...
... But Only One Shooting Star
We Won't See It From Earth's Ground
Not Anymore - Near Or Far

That Last Sight Added
To That Star's Oblivion of Being
with my own eyes -
its 'worth of one' I was blessed seeing

____________


Fingers and Toes - Multiple, Little Tools ...
... Identical Props, But Just Let One Come Undone
Then Perception & Balance Becomes Shaky Ground
From Which We Can't Grow Back, Real, New Ones

And It Adds
To The Bareness of Its Once Being
its 'worth of one',
many people, now are seeing


* * * * * * * * * *

One ... Is An Important Part
of The Sum of The Whole
A Unique, Individual & Integral
of Sequence, Substance Or Soul

One ... Alphabet Written
Adds To A Story Being Told
And 'One' Chisel-Tap Joins
To Uniform A Sculptor's Mold

So If Only 'One' ... Is Reading This
and When You Are Done
Please Know ... That In The Universe
'You' ... Are A Value of  =  One

And There Is No One
Exactly Like You - None
And When You Were Formed
Your Valued-Worth Begun ...

* * * * * * * * * *

And "GOD So Loved The World ...
... That HE Gave HIS Only Begotten Son
So That Whosoever Believes ... ' Rise From The Ground
And Live!  ... And Be Forever Young

For Old Age Adds
To The Bareness of Our Being
with my own eyes -
the 'worth of one year' I am seeing
(John 3: 16)

____________


In The Portrait of Mankind ...
... When One Human Dies
Try To Know Why,When Laid To Ground
Its Such A Sad Good-Bye...

Because It Adds
To The Bareness of All Human Beings
And Every Eye -
The 'Worth of One' ... One Day Will Be Seeing

From A Number In A Sum
That Adds The Value of Totality
From My Place As A Point
On A Line of Infinity . . . .

From An Individual, Genuine
& Personally Unique
From A Vanguard of Valor
& A Take-It-There, Technique

Always One of A Kind
And Never Covet, Nor Copy
The First & Original
And Only One - Me -

The Prototype, The Modiste
and Mistress of Poetry
The Moniker & Monogrammed ...
