I Can Be Alone - Visitor's Poem

by Joseph L. Campanello
(Mansfield, MA, U.S.A.)

I can be alone without feeling lonely,
I can fill my heart with the mountains, the birds, the sea,
I can be alone and not miss the hustle and bustle of the crowd
I can enjoy the silence, and my own company.

I can be alone without feeling blue,
I can take comfort in the peaceful sounds that nature makes,
I can be alone and find cheer in the whistling of the wind,
I can savor what is beautiful and true.
