A Cold in Winter
feeling slightly feeble this morning       truth is                 i may not be well 
i did not leap from bed but am shuffling along at a slower pace    climbed 
                                                                                                         from my bed
like a very old woman         the deal may be sealed           perhaps a cold 
stuffy nose                           a cough                                   a bit of a headache
or maybe                     just    a slowing down of sorts            nowhere to flee
if i have picked up a bug      a single predator                     or a whole host of them
sound the sirens             i will have to pay the price            no way to cheat
take two aspirins                  drink fluids                              go back to bed 
get plenty of rest           lean against the wall                       just to stay upright
take a shower         hot water on my skin my revive me      and a little preening
might help                       to face the day                              to scare the cold away

Good use of the words, great write...hope you get better soon.
Vitamin C might set it running for the hills. Hoping this is just a tale you made up, if not I shall pray for you,

We are always so comfortable and sure in our lives until we realize our weaknesses.
I hope you get better soon!
Annell, give in to it, do not try to soldier on....lie down under warm blankets, drink fluids, rest and get better. Seriously. There are terrible germs out there, and we are vulnerable. Watch tv and sleep..........for as long as it takes...........I am thinking of you.
Long may you keep the cold away - love and hugs and keep well wishes to you Annell xo
