A dream terrified, <br />have lost my sleep at night, <br />don't know the reason why, <br />it has captured my sight. <br />Dream about a little child, <br />who has lost his family, <br />he's all alone now, <br />crying bitterly. <br />His family in bloodshed, <br />lost life in a fight, <br />fight with a terrorist, <br />who destoyed them within a night. <br />The child can't speak, <br />but he calls me, <br />to provide him shelter, <br />helpless is he. <br />I try to run at his call, <br />but still cannot, <br />don't know what is stopping me, <br />I try to give it a thought. <br />While he cries, <br />blood falls from his eyes, <br />eyes that are innocent, <br />and my dream away it flies. <br />Flies away with the night, <br />and I wake up in a mood terrified, <br />thinking was this fact or not, <br />thinking of the family that died.<br /><br />Priyanka Bhowmick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-terrified/
