I am rich My walls are lined with cupboards, Cups and saucers With a TV at my feet And a bed near the door Believe me- I am rich.
The lamp beside me glows As my eyes strains to perfect the shade With a window as big as I want And the door as wide as I like Trust me- I am rich.
My hands darken As my charcoal crumbles But with joy to live this day, Faith to live another And hope to dream in the present I know- I am rich.\n\nMaria Mortimer
