MORNING ANGEL<\/p>\n
She rose from the darkness\u00a0alone and cold,<\/p>\n
not knowing when her life would unfold.<\/p>\n
She prayed day and night.<\/p>\n
Laughed, rather than cry;\u00a0as the street is her\u00a0address<\/p>\n
and a cardboard box, her home.<\/p>\n
The smaller the box the\u00a0more heat \u00a0she will gain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She tried their shelter,\u00a0they turned her away<\/p>\n
she tried again and again,\u00a0the same everyday.<\/p>\n
You’d think they have shelter for the forlorn.<\/p>\n
but no way in hell, would that lady\u00a0conform.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes, I said lady, not of the night.<\/p>\n
lady of \u00a0the morn, get it? That’s right.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Was it her face\u00a0that appalled them<\/p>\n
or the stench of her clothes?<\/p>\n
She had no way of knowing.<\/p>\n
Nobody told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
