Winter Sun

Lying on the sofa,

Just watching TV

Listening to the rain

Drumming on the window

Fog in the sky

It is cold and frosty

A blanket is needed,

To keep me warm and cosy

Darkness looms outside

Despite the early hour

But then the skies split,

Out comes the winter sun

The fog is lifted,

The light now shines

Rays across the room

And a warmth creeping in

It’s a wonderful feeling,

To be encircled,

In the golden glow

Of the warm winter sun
