Such a lonely number, I think To say that you are the best The first above, far and beyond the others Such a high place, I wonder To fall from when they tell me you're tops Looking far below infinitely Such is the dreaded number one Who must face such a fearsom life Caught between zero, Who sobs bitterly at the nothingness Like a broken child And in the sight of two, Who will never cease to represent the most powerful The little thing called love Where its companionship will never step Such is the lonely number I fear When someone comes up and tells me "You're number one." "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

I'm glad you enjoyed it. And always ready to support, and always willing to listen and read anything anyone's has to say. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

This is great! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Cute poem- reminds me of that old song, "one is the lonliest number that you'll ever see.." Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Great, Astraea! I always say, go for Number Three...more company and less stress, and you're always in the top ten  But in Paul's case...how sweet it must be to be number 4!  (just love how you look at it that way! Your children are blessed too)It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Astera, wonderul thoughts to be number one, but I agree with the others... 2, 3, 4, is also a blessing. B Gravitt |
