Children Of The Night Poem by Don Dickenson

Children Of The Night



A child cries………. in the night
Mummy comes…….... it's alright
Arms that comfort …...safe secure
Sleep my little one….. your guard is sure.

A child cries………….. in the night
Arms are raised………. with deadly flight
A smack or two………. it does no harm
The kid is quiet………. works like a charm

A child cries ………. in the night
wakened by the noise startled by the light
roof tiles rattle……. walls all shake
the child is silent…. to shiver and quake.

Children are crying…… crying tonight
crying because of ……. terror and fright
some will have comfort. some will have pain
some will stop crying…..never cry again.
