A Child's Prayer
A battle rages deep into the night
a mother and father
their words biting and tearing
a demon's delight.
From the back of the house
a tiny voice calls
"please Father come save us
before the devil swallows us whole."
Her prayer flies to the heavens
at the speed of light
Michael and the angels are coming
swords drawn, they are ready for a fight.
"Rest now little one
you Father is near
no more demons
or angry words need you fear."

this is such a Beautiful example
but when it doesnt happen like this weak Faith gets trampled
true innocence protects the child
why in the 1st place should adults expose them to such trials
when all we have to do is simply look into her eyes
& see the truth....shes the Angel just in disguise....

I got from this poem what I'd never do to my kids. I would never fight or argue loud enough for them to hear. Such things are the burdens of adults, not children...there is always a fine line between that difference though. Another well written piece. I must say, your skills are improving with each read. You sure are a wizard with words Crim. :)

And the feeling I was left with was one of comfort and safety. These times of battles are so NOT for children. That comes across so well in your piece. Well done Crim...I thoroughly enjoyed the read.
@"Laughs" (looks up) your morals in this regard are upstanding and a lesson we would all do well to learn and uphold. It is however reliant on 2 parties maintaining the belief (which is not allways that easy) .
