Scared Little Boy

by

Faye Hoffman

In the darkest part of night,
with eyes wide open and afraid,
a small boy is awakened,
by the noises that nights make.

His face pressed to a pillow,
so tight that he can't breathe.
Hiding from the monsters,
that are only in make-believe.

He has a small and faded lamp,
on a little boys nightstand,
but he's scared to reach out for it,
from fear of what lies neath his bed.

He pulls the covers up much tighter,
as he squeezes his eyes hard shut.
Praying little boys prayers,
wishing for his mothers touch.

But his voice seems to escape him,
as he's frozen in one spot.
His room is a silent blackness,
until he hears a knock.

Then like a dream,it's over.
All his fears are washed away.
As he sees his mothers face appear,
he reaches out,knowing,he's safe once again.
