I’m Cold

I’m Cold

I can’t stop shivering though I really try

But it’s now down in my old bones

I sit and dream of days gone bye

But this cold won’t leave me alone

I wrap up in my blanket coffee in hand

And think the warmest thoughts I can

But then a draft comes and I shiver twice

Some Florida sun would sure be nice

Don’t know where the sun has gone

Or why it won’t shine no more

But it has been cloudy for so very long

And the cold is harder to ignore

At times a ray will break through a peak

With hope I search in this hide and seek

But alas the sunshine is gone once again

And the shadows make me shiver within

It used to be always sunny and warm

But the weather patterns have changed

And now the bleak dark cold is the norm

I’m not sure how it got rearranged

Perhaps my careless actions brought it on

You know damaged some cosmic zone

And the hurts and habits of things untold

Have all led to this…,

               But BURR, I sure am I cold!
