In the glow of the nite lite
With a tear on your lash
I hold on to your hand
And let the fear you have Pass
You got lost in a sea of a nap time idea
Made you feel full of fear, in need of some help to free ya
As I hold you in my arms and give you a hug
I tell you I will be with you to fill you with love
At last you are calm and fall into your bed
And I wait till you rest and then I kiss your head
And tell you a tale of the day that we met
It was the best day that I have ever had- yet

Lightning Never Strikes Twice
The distant rumble, the sudden deluge, the crescendo of sound, the flash of light, the explosive energy — it never gets old. I became an amateur storm chaser about two years ago. My wife, Cindy suggested it. Sort of. She said, "Alex, you know this cancer is killing me. I've come to terms with that, but you're smothering me. Go join a band, write a book, or become a storm chaser, for all I care. I love you, but you need a hobby."

This is just so beautifully written. I felt a peace come over me while reading this. Very well done.
Really warm and charming piece! Great job!! 👏☺️
Awww, this was so sweet! Very lovely!
This hearkens back to our favorite children's book, "I'll Love You Forever", so beautifully capturing that love, care & concern a parent has for their panicked child & what it means to be able to hold & calm them. Capturing this moment so poignantly, Kelli, well done.
This is quite lovely!
This is so sweet. Reads like a nursery rhyme.
