It is time for bed

Time to sleep once more

I am not as scared to close my eyes

As I was before

Still I turn the lights down low

No darkness for me

Not anymore

It is the price for caring and

The things I have seen

The hurt of others

And their cries of pain 

But in his arms

So tightly and protective around me

I can finally close my eyes 

 He keeps the dreams at bay

 As I close my eyes

 I am not scared to sleep

I trust him to be there

And chase the bad away

I finally fall into a very

Peaceful deep sleep
