One Is a Lonely Number

One is for the lonely person
who chooses to be alone.
One is for the childless couple
who cannot have their own.

One is for the lonely number
not many people choose.
One is for the little child
who’s constantly being abused.

One is for the newborn babies
struggling to be born.
One is for the hurricane
whose force creates a storm.

One is for the boss at work
who has that special tone.
One is for the abandoned dog
who wants to have a home.

One is for the single person
who cannot get a date.
One is for moving forward
despite a past mistake.

One is for the homeless person
who has nothing to eat.
One is for the sunbather
who cannot stand the heat.

One is for the elderly person
who cannot get around.
one is for the soloist
who cannot make a sound.

One is this and so much more
it’s a place you chose to be
Break the chain of oneness
and find some company.
