By Your Side

I wish you were here by my side To keep me calm on a scary night I know I’m not strong enough To face this creepy night… I am alone in this lonely room Feeling scared under a big moon My mind won’t stop thinking Of the shadows and noises Of my surroundings Today, I’m scared like a child My heart is falling apart I’m frightened and wanted to run To hide under your arms... Mama, please come here Kiss me on my forehead Fill me with your warm embrace Hug me till the morning light Hold my hands till I sleep so tight.. And whisper into my ear “My dearest child… It’s alright, I’m here by your side”…

From someone whose mom died a few short months before the pandemic started, I can honestly say I miss that. Also that seems like the request of any child, even if we are grown up.
