Poem

A child wakes in the night,
Tears of fear in her eyes,
Because she had a bad dream,
That's why she started to cry.
She dreamed that the World was dying,
And destruction,and devastation she saw,
Her parent's and family she would miss,
And her friend's in school nevermore.
What's happening?she'd ask herself,
Why is crime overpowering Love?
She would get down on her knees,
And pray"to our God"up above.
She asked the Lord for forgiveness,
For peace to reign,on this Earth,
But most of all she wanted,
For all Human's to love themselves.
After she finished praying,
She gave thank's,and went back to sleep,
And when she awakened next morning,
She knew"the Lord heard her pleas.
