One Person

I am just one person
In an infinite sea of endless opportunity.
Waves crash; Sun shines; Earth moves,
And I am just one person.

One grain of sand, one drop of rain,
And I am just one person.
Potential blossoms within,
Like a seed before the harvest.

The voices sing to me;
Propose I join their song.
I raise my voice,
Trepidations dissolve, and I am soaring.

For although I am just one person,
In the end,
We are all just one person
In an infinite sea of endless opportunity.
