Contentment

Sunday morning under my quilted down comforter
Coffee smells loosening tension like a good massage.
My alarm clock snores on, this being its one day off
And I gaze at the dresser replete with family photos.
Contentment fills me, dampening every exposed, jagged nerve
And begins to overflow as my cat purrs her approval.

Reason A. Poteet Date: 9/15/2019 10:36:00 PM Congratulations, Cindi. Great read. Weekends have their appeal along with any day off from routine work. I like the dampening of your raw nerves. Church times hopefully vary enough to let you worship and put your spirit at ease, also. Login to Reply Cindi Rockwell Date: 9/16/2019 10:32:00 AM Absolutely! One reason my Sundays are so peaceful is the time I spend in church!
