Sleep safe
without any nightmares
or any fears
sleep safe
When you wake
in the morning
they'll be no more dark
just sunlight in your eyes
You don't need
to be scared of the dark
any more
because mummy's going to love you
even more
If you ever get scared
at night
look out of the window
at the cold moonlight
You see
it's not even dark
at all
So sleep safe
without any nightmares
or any fears
sleep safe
Because nothings going to hurt you any more
child in the night
close your eyes and sleep
nothings going to hurt you any more
A very moving poem that I can identify with. Well expressed, well done-good job!
Great poem, surely and it's a comfort to any child that hears it. I agree with Claudia, however I don't stutter like her.
I like this poem overall, but especially 'sleep safe' repetition which makes it really soothing. Your poetry is that of compassion. You're a man of compassion. I am glad you let yourself be discovered.
Brotha', I've only read a few of your poems & I must say that in some way or another, I can relate. I'm going to make a point to read all of your work! I think u are extremely talented. Keep writting bout your life experiences because (like many of us) you've got a story to tell! !
