Just One

I raced to get them all
Like lased with gall
Yet I wasn't paced for them all
Just one or nothing at all.

Before a terrible fall
I got one that stood tall
And built a wall
Bouncing on like a ball
Into the will of the All-in-All
Above and above all
And now,
I stand tall
As I answer His call.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
