As a small child I remember being afraid of the night..

Fear of what was creeping out there..

Nights terrors not far away..

Always sleeping with the lights on..

Wishing some how it would scare them off..



Knowing this would never help..

There was no doubt..

Only a child trying to figure out how to fight it..

If only I could stay awake all night..

Then the night terrors would go to rest..

What does a child do?

Hearing them and knowing they are near..

Closing her eyes tightly while clutching her teddy bear..

Maybe he can fight the night terrors..

A hope only a child would think of..

To only be able to go to sleep in the night..

With out the fear of the Night terrors..
