Winter's Night



Winter’s night is very cold
It is 3C outside I am told
Willing my mattress and duvet to fit me like a mold
The night is dark and truly cold
I snuggle in the bed
Why are you fidgeting? he said
I am trying to get comfortable
Easing around to make pain less able
What are you wearing? He said
Fleece, of course! I said
Got my thermal socks on
A woolly cap on my head I don  
Hot water bottle warms my feet
Keeping myself tucked under the sheet
My arms and hands remain inside this cocoon
But my nose is going to freeze soon
I cannot wait till this cocoon warms
So I can sink into Morpheus’ arms
