Oh darling, do not fear.

I know that these monsters are real but I am here.

They come with needles and equipment in the dark of night.

When you are expected to be asleep.

I will be your eyes during those dark times.

Letting you know when it is time to fight.

***

Oh darling, do not fear.

The end of the battle will be near.

I have laid in that same bed and fought the same fight.

Giving it my all until the final moment.

It lasted so much longer than I thought I could handle.

The sun always rose in the end.
