MY CONFESSION, by                    
First Line: Some people want their sunsets
Last Line: I'm glad my hair is gray!
Subject(s): Contentment; Simplicity


Some people want their sunsets
Twenty colors in a row.
I like as well an evening
With just a purple glow.

Some adore a banquet...
Crystal, silver, shaded lights;
But I love toast and applesauce
On crispy winter nights.

I know it is most orthodox
To long to meet a king;
But I enjoy my laundress
Who doesn't own a thing!

And when it comes to my own looks
Such candor I display...
I know it's strange, but really
I'm glad my hair is gray!
