One - the Number of My Name

“One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do”(?) - Three Dog Night


One - The Number of My Name

A melody I knew so long ago
comes echoing its lyrics through my mind.
It’s telling me through modern radio  -
how hard aloneness is and how unkind!

Reflecting on its words, I have to say,
I rather like the number one - I do!
I spend a large part of my life each day
alone! For me, this time has had great value.

No sadness do I feel to be alone.
Around the world, thanks to technology,
are friends I chat with. When I’m on my own,
I do fun things like writing poetry!

Determined and creative, I get things done
because the number of my name is One!


*Number 1 is just ONE of my three main numbers. If you want to know YOUR three numbers, including the number of your name, please see the links in my notes!

I know well of three dog night. I was offered a ticket to one of their concerts a long time ago in New Haven, CT. Went with a very nice friend who came from a very interesting family. She was very sweet, and I hope she has had a good life. Three dogs were very loud. Your take on number 1 is much better than theirs!

Nicely written Andrea. Your acceptance of being single is applauded here. No loneliness expressed, or missed love, you find great value in it. Nice attitude.

There are plenty of number ones running around, Casarah. Actually my Destiny number is 7 and path is 5. With 1, I think they make a really great combo and that is why I enjoy numerology so much! TEll me what yours is when you look it up.
