I woke up at midnight
From a scary dream,
Trembling with fear,
Sweating and panting.
Even, the feeble voices outside
Echoed in my heart
As the foot sounds of cruel men
Breaking open my door.
Alone in my room,
I looked for help
In the dim light of bed lamp,
My own shadow frightened me.
I took the phone, and
Called my friend,
Miles away, “Don’t be silly,
Pray and try to sleep”, he said.
My heart was not pacified
I felt as left alone
I looked for my rosary, and
Found it on a small book.
I took the rosary, kissed it
And slowly opened the book
My friend was there in the book,
Smiling at me !
I put it on the table, opened
I felt relieved of all fears
Then, peacefully slept till dawn,
With rosary in my hand.
