Awakened from a
nightmare I didn’t understand
sitting upright in my
bed with a frightened stare
and eyes wide open
not able to control my fear.
Up and off bed to the
hardwood floor I land,
running into my
mother’s loving arms of care;
asking me what’s
wrong as she wipes away the tears.
Intently listening as
if my worries were paramount;
looking into my
frighten eyes and holding my hand
she started to speak
and I hung on her every word.
What she spoke to me
gave me no reason to doubt;
a calming force she
displayed with such command
that with every word
she spoke it always reassured.
On her lap my head
laid as I played with her plaid skirt;
calming me with her
voice as it reverberated in my chest
while stroking my
hair; I started to slowly fall asleep.
My mother always aware
knew I was drifting but still alert;
nudged me to get up
and sent me off to bed to get my rest.
Getting up from her
lap I went back to bed and fell into a heap.
