A Nightmare!

Waking up in the

middle of the night,

sweat pouring down

the childs tender face.

Her lungs pressing

a pierced scream

up through her throat.

Tears flowing out

like a waterfall!

Nothing but a

gentle,

and soothing voice

can help to calm

this innocent childs fear.

She opens her eyes

and the crying slows

to a mere whimpering,

as she becomes

aware of the love

surrounding her,

her heart and her soul!

Finally,

the crying stops

and a small, yet,

angelic smile

creeps upon her face;

as she realizes

that it was a

nightmare,

and nothing more!
