Waking From A Nightmare Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Waking From A Nightmare

Rating: 5.0


Do not be afraid, my father said
Wiping away my childhood tears.
Darkness drifts away
Taking terrors of the night
Giving way to a new tomorrow.

Dawn is full of promise
And smiling he took my hand
Telling me of a Jewish man
Who walked on water and raised the dead.

Your poem reminds me of the movie, Life Is Beautiful! You were lucky to have had such a good father. It is true; it happens!

I remember being told about Jesus from my grandmother. This poem reminds me of those days. Much enjoyed.
