“From One To One” [Poem Series Wrap-Up]

The project’s end has come at last,
With holidays approaching fast;
This poem marks a “wrap” on prayer –
Completing set, it leaves it there.

A taste of how photography
Or video can blessing be
At home, at school, in work or play,
Or at up-coming holiday.

If you collect one tiny book
Of matches, there’s no second look;
But make a set of anything
And people look – new charm it brings.

Four matchbooks mounted on the wall,
Unless unique, no comment draws;
Ten thousand matchbooks in a set,
And you find interest rising – yet –

It’s not the numbers – more the fact
Some unity has come – what lacked
Attention-drawing power as “one”,
Is suddenly “phenomenon”.

So too with people – harmony
Emerging in a family
Depicts a new-formed entity –
And power of “one” in unity.

Thanks Lord for this.
