Sleepless nights filled with fright Moonbeams into my room spill And casts an eerie comfort light When rising on my windowsill Search for peace all my might But empty dreams won’t fulfill Deep sadness stunts like blight The growth of peace so tranquil Feeling so afraid of my plight Tossing ‘round much time to kill Hopelessness moves with delight On this dark journey all uphill Through long and restless night My poor soul in agony so shrill Wants only rest to feel alright And warm up from entire chill Unlike the silence of midnight When darkness stood so still

Reflecting on the time when my son was sent over to Afganistan.
I can't imagine the trauma...as I have no kids.....but not knowing the outcome...is to me the worse torment we can suffer... Great poem Yankee4you.......Niah
