Night Light Poem by Javier Falcon

Why are you scared?
When you have called on me tonite,
to keep you company while you're awake,
with eyes wide open and searching around,
covered up to your nose and not physically cold,
yet so full of fear, with endless shivers,
And even so I seem to warm your eyes,
keeping anything that hides in your mind away,
so even when you finally fall gently asleep,
I will be there to defend you,
keeping that area safe from evil,
until another day says hello,
keeping you fully warm and safe,
but until then I will be here,
for as long as you need me,
and even when you won't,
so why are you scared?
