    A Silent Prayer‏

     I awake to the sounds of his screams, i run to his room, my heart breaks as i pull him into my arms and cuddle him close to my chest. He is so small and fragile, for he is my little boy. I cuddle him in my arms assuring him it is all right it was just a bad dream, that can not hurt him. He looks at me with tears streaming down his handsome little face, i understand the fear in his little eyes all to well, for i myself have bad dreams. I would give anything to take away the bad dreams and fears, to protect him from all the bad things in this cruel world. I wrap my arms tighter around his small trembling body, rocking him gently tell he falls into a deep sleep. As i lay him back in his bed, kissing his little forehead, i pray a silent prayer for my little one to be free of these bad dreams. And for him to sleep peacefully through the night and every night after. Sleep well my little one, mommy love you so much.

    Oh I love your poem because my daughter had such terrifying dreams and you certainly capture the mood of a mother's feelings with this. It's lovely, poignant and I am caught up in your free verse

    Am glad you liked the poem, this is almost a nightly thing with my little boy and the dreams, and it tears me apart....Ty for the comment hun

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
