Poised beautiful covered in gold there for the world to see

Whilst faceless, covered avoiding the smog from diesel, exhaust and factory

Childrens faces proud and bright Look up with great expectancy

Whilst an old face waits for her eventual destiny

Or faces of piggies their snouts so pretty assured of food aplenty.

A toothless face No dentists here

and babes on rivers reminds me of books on China

An elephant’s face has it made as he eats bananas by the score

And a cool face wishing to be a Hollywood star Poses “Hey, look at moi”

Whilst children here with serious faces plead for help with money and more education

Our time has come The faces reflect the ties that will be kept I hope for generation after generation.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

I had never seen a spotted elephant before and it was a lucrative business he and his master had going. Sale of bananas to tourists to feed his elephant which you then paid to have a ride on. All overheads paid for and happy tourists too boot.
