Lie Down and Rest My Child
“Oh, my, what ever is the matter My Darling? What are You still doing up?”
“Oh, Mother... It was dreadful. I had the most terrible of dreams, and when I awoke it was real.”
“Come now... Here, to My arms. There, that's the way.”
“I just want everything to be O.K., and it never will be.”
“There, there... Lie down and rest now, My Child. Everything is going to be fine.”
“I can't...”
“You can.”
“Sniff.”
“I promise You, You'll feel better. Just close Your eyes. Believe that it will be okay.”
“They'll all hate Me for it.”
