When I was a child
I would have the most hellish dreams
One time I dreamt
A vampire was standing over me
And right before my eyes
He turned into a bat
And flew out the window
And sat straight up in bed
Screaming for my parents

Another night I had a scary dream
All these heads off the
Old time horror movie charetars
Were floating out of my wall
It was a dream
I shall never forget
To this very day

Nightmares of a child
May sound very stupid and corny
But remember
To them they are as real
As the light of day

So when your child has nightmares
Just sit there and say
It's all over now
Everything is gonna be okay

Cold hands means a warm heart

Ahh, and at that time, so important to be held. Dreams can be very real, too real at times. Very nicely done..very gentle smile

Yes, it is so important to comfort your children when they wake up in a state of terror from a nightmare! I can still recall the feel of their rapidly beating hearts against my chest.

Enjoyed your poem, Julie!

And we all know what it's like to be the child who just woke up from a nightmare. Definitely a good time for a hug.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Julie, when I was a little boy, I had nightmares every single night so I can well sympathize with these feelings ever too well! (wipes tears) I can only tell the children of the world that we will all fight our inner demons but promise them all will be peaceful in the end! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
