Sleeping on Ann's Pillow
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Ann sinks her head into soft, snowy, fleece,
And dreams of unmitigated caprice.
Dressed in black lace with chemise,
Ann becomes somebody’s masterpiece.
Ann awakens, prays without surcease,
Then attends to needed , elbow-grease.
When surrounding conflicts cease
Ann’s worries, anxiety, decrease.
Will Ann reconcile or gain peace?
Past hurts, trespasses, Ann must release.
