LEAVES OF GRASS
I exist as I am, that is enough,
If not other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by far the larges to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand
Or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness,
I can wait.
