By Richard Wallace
My window to the world is small
But it is mine
*****
My house is small
My village is small
I do not have neighbors
What I have is mine
*****
I am a woman
I do not need a man
I have acquaintances
I do not need friends
I am self sufficient
I do not need assistance
I am confident
I do not feel peer pressure
*****
My home is sparse
I do not need more
My life is full
I could not ask for more
*****
I listen
I observe
I am aware
*****
My window to the world is small
But it is mine
A New book of poems by Richard Wallace ‘Think About It’ has been published by Shuswap Press.
