Haven by Katrina
Author's Note: For Angie & Basilea
I watch my child sleep The quiet untroubled sleep Of the young I stand there, thinking Of how close it came To permanent sleep The thoughts rampage through my mind The terror I felt But could not show To my frightened child, trapped and alone I had to be strong A safe haven to hold on to Now it is I That needs that place to hide From the terrors of the night A hand slips into mine And pulls me close Protective and strong My haven is here
