One Life

We have
This one life
Then it’s done

We walk it

With these people
At this time

This spouse

This family
These friends
These neighbors
This group
Of coworkers

Then it’s done

So what

Do we want it
To be

Here’s what I

Want it
To be

More arms wide open

Supporting
Each other
As we go

More deep talks

Because you
Are important
To me
And I care
About the details
Of your life

More how

Can I make
Your day
A little easier

Less I

Am ashamed
About the pain
In my life

Less I am scared

To ask for the help
That I need

Less I don’t feel
I am ever
Enough

More living

Our one lives
Together

So no one
Has to go it
Alone
