![]() Afraid of the DarkA Poem by WhiskurzShe said, "Daddy leave the light on, For you know I'm afraid of the dark" I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard her make that remark I'd always wait 'til she fell asleep Then sneak and turn off the light Then pull the covers off her head And kiss my angel goodnight I've killed at least thousand monsters Who live beneath her bed But every night she'd sleep with the light And cover her tiny head I woke up early sunday morning And decided to peak inside Only to find in the middle of the night My pride and joy had died They say she had an embolism She passed away in her sleep I dreaded the burial most of all Some place dark and deep She said, "Daddy leave the light on, For you know I'm afraid of the dark" I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard her make that remark
