One Life Poem by joe hirsch

As I set for lands far and wide, I took at life. I didn’t know if I was coming back or weather I see the world. As I looked a fellow soldiers shook their hands I realized than life in upon me. You got one life to live and one dance to share. As stood there over look the skies I wonder about the world and why we are we different. I smiled at my family and I know I found the greatest sense of joy one man could feel. We are often looking at each other and judge. For it is not the color of their skin, weather they, black, white or other creed. It doesn’t matter whether you catholic, Christian or Muslim. You got one life to live and once dance to share. You are born and you die. The deep you travel in your soul to find your quest for peace, you know that you can make difference. As I looked out than window rolling down that run way bound for lands greater than myself, I had known nothing great than home I had came from. I knew that life was again dancing with me. I rehearsed the words you have to life to live and that’s all you got I met traveling soul. He said my dear boy let me you something. I listed to wise old words of this man. He said for every chance you get dance, you always get improve to become the best. As I looked he and he look back smile. I had known this man for minute and he somehow show me the light. To my amaze he was catholic a preacher who spoke of the light with passion and kindness. As conversed we realized we embarked knowing that life was upon us. We again sung the words you got one life, one dance. As I stood there looker the ocean blue I began to realize what this wise man had said. We began to ponder about life and the world. We fought there 15 months and in those 15 months he embarked on the greatest crusade. As I sat there listing to my grandfather tell me this story I knew that my life would be great than anything else. Than one life and that once chance one last one time in history. As I smiled back at him, he told me he’d loved me and I said the same. I went to bed and I remember this like it was yesterday. We are one, we great, we are mighty and we are brothers and sisters
