You!

When you are deep in sleep,

And under the blanket, something creeps,

Scratching with her eight rough limbs!

And amidst the dark,

You hold her in your hand!

To know who she is!

However brave, you stand

Against the world and adversity!

A single big house spider!

Can make you realize!

How chicken-hearted!

You can be!
