Untitled Poem by Kathleen Giesting

This piece was taken from the archives of the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Library on Marian University's main campus. It was originally published in Volume 31, which was put forward by the 1972 - 1973 Fioretti students.

here am I alone

the solitude of a single companion

sharing my solitude

warms me

is the only shield I need

in battling the world

is the filter through which

I see the goodness of the world

makes me smile
