as i slept
in dark of night
startled awake
with an awful fright

i looked around
but couldn't see
what it was
that had frightened me

a calming presence
i now felt
the ice in my veins
soon would thaw and melt

i heard Him say
Child of Mine, be not afraid
there is no need to fight in your sleep
the battles won, the enemy slayed

My Angels here
will protect you
from enemies trying
their best to harm anew

sleep now Child of Mine
the demons gone
Trust in Me
you'll be fine

We should all walk without fear.  He has our fears and burdens.  Well written idea.  Love, Joyce

Thank you Joyce...it is true we should never have this fear, but for some of us it is there long after we let Him in. I am just now sleeping in the dark after many years of a silly night light when alone.

Annie,
  This is a beautiful poem of a brush with the super-natural.  One day our eyes will be opened and we will understand the magnificent grace and mercy that overshadows our daily lives.  You expressed yourself well here, very readable, interesting and touching. Thanks for sharing.

Dennis :^)
