Daddy's Arms

One late night,
I wake up in bed,
from a nightmare.
Daddy had abandoned me.
I ran down the hall,
tears running down my face.
I jumped on the bed,
crying,
"Daddy,
I'm so afraid,
you'll leave me here,
scared."
He wraps his arm around me,
saying,
"Baby,
I'm always here.
Near or far,
I'm in your heart.
Don't fear.
You'll always be,
my baby girl."
Tears keep running,
as he pulls me in his arms.
He holds me tight,
and suddenly,
all my fears go away.
My little body goes limp,
as I start to fall back asleep,
right there,
in my daddy's arms.
