The One

The one is defined exactly to what it is.
It is the one that requires none.
Added by two, attached to three, and the list goes on.
It is the one needed by this.
It is the one that is never done.
The one is always more.
Multiplied by this and divided by that, always with one.
It is the one that must endure.

The one always holds it’s own.
Two takes one and three takes two.
The one always stands alone.
It is the one that passes through,
It is the one that I see in you.
Alone and holding your own, 
Required by none!
You are “The One”!
But I’m just passing through.

Awesome write here, Ann. Yup, we're all just passing through and how fortunate we are to have a place to put our words while we're here ... smile ...
