A Mother's Nightmare

Three little children

Nodding off to sleep,

Quiet as a mouse

Afraid to make a peep.

Daddy's still awake,

Better not make any noise,

Because in this house

Daddy hates his girl and boys.

Mommy has tried so hard

To take the kids and run away,

But Daddy finds her every time

And says she has to stay.

Daddy's day was tough,

He and Mommy start to fight,

Daddy starts screaming,

Then his fists become tight.

He runs into the bedroom,

Yanks the kids from the bed,

Makes them all stand in a row,

And this is what he said.

"Everything's about to stop,

It's really for the best"

Next he turns around

And heads for a chest.

Mommy's heart skips a beat,

As Daddy gets a gun,

She follows her instincts,

Grabs the kids and tries to run.

She doesn't get far,

Only to the door,

She pushes the kids out,

As she falls to the floor.

Mommy sits up fast,

Trying to catch her breath,

It was only a dream,

But it scared her half to death.

Mommy's not a mom,

No kids or husband yet,

But this is one dream

She will never forget.
