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”…
