I know I'm not alone because when night
sends Fear's Army to my bedside,
I send a prayer to my heavenly Father.
"Send fear away and let your peace stay."
That is my prayer. I hear the voice of the Lord say,
"You are my child, I'll protect you."
I see Jesus on my bed, holding his arms out to me.
I go to Him. He holds me close and whispers
in my ear. "You have nothing to fear from the night.
Darkness cannot harm you for the Light has come."
I cannot see Him anymore, but I feel His Presence.
The crickets, chirping and buzzing, that kept me
awake before, sound like angel's voices. 
As I watch the sunrise I join in the singing.

This is the first poem I ever wrote. I was 8 years old.
