(For my friends who are struggling with the colds and flus of the season. I love you and wish I could hug it away!)
Stuffy nose
Aching head
Wish you had time
To just stay in bed
Too much to do
Not the time you would pick
It’s Christmas, for Pete’s sake
No time to be sick
There is still no cure
For the common cold
So you drink lots of fluids
And do as you’re told
You sniffle and sneeze
There’s phlegm in your throat
And when you try to cough it up
It makes you want to choke
Your eyes burn a little
Your whole body hurts
Why can’t you just curl up
In your cozy night shirt?
But there’s work to do
Many things to finish
But you’ll never get it done
If the pain won’t diminish
I wish I had fairy dust
To make it go away
But know that you are prayed for
And much loved today.
