The Sword of Light

Remember this my little lad.

Never hide beneath the bed.

Just call for me and I'll there be.

For the monsters of the night hide from me.

I will come with the sword of light
and send them fleeing into the night.

A mothers love and like a prayer, two for the price of one, and I love the childlike simplicity of it yet it’s not simple writing. Very nicely done!

This can be taken two ways, The unconditional love of a mother or God talking to his children. either way I say amen to this poem

[Cherrie Palmer]

I too think of this poem as a blending. God our Champion and the sword His word.

A sweet little poem to scare away the ghoulies that haunt the night in the shadows, closets, and under beds. Thank you Cherrie for your cute tiny write.

My sword of light is a double A powered red flashlight that takes no prisoners :)

Amazing words shared dear Cherrie. I have been singing a similar song to my grandchildren for many years. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.
