Notes About The Poem

What's One More? evokes the idea of seemingly small, incremental actions that may feel insignificant in isolation but can have a larger impact when accumulated. It's about the subtle choices or efforts we make, often without realizing their eventual influence.

What's One More?

What's one more day? 
I always say
And before you know it, A
 twist of fate
A moment fades, 
But time won’t wait,
And suddenly you're 
At the end of the bait.

What's one more bite? 
I'm eating this,
What's one more kiss? 
I won't resist.
What's one more tug?
Becomes a push,
A pull, a shove
 A love that rushes like fool

What's one more step?
I’ll take it slow,
But now I’m running
And I can’t let go.
The small things add up
And they define,
The moments that we
Leave behind.

A little turns into so much more,
A whisper turns into a roar.
Every choice, every touch,
Changes everything we trust.


What’s one more day?
I always say,
And before you know it,
It’s a lifetime away.
What’s one more chance
That’s all you got
What one more drink
Just take the shot
A meaningless glance
Can turn to wild romance

Taken together, the phrase reflects the importance of not underestimating the impact of small actions. Each "one more" might seem like just a small thing at the moment, but over time, they can add up to meaningful change, achievement, transformation or ultimately your demise.
