One Life

by Dane Allred


Short or long, one life is all we have been given
Time to sing
To dance
And walk a while.

To learn and love
To touch the lives
Of those near and far.

Each day unfolds as
A new hope.
Another possibility.
To do all the things we have to do
One life to do all the things we are here to do
One life to do all the things we want to do.

This day to smell the flowers
Watch the sunset
And breathe in the sweet air of life.
