The night was cold and stormy
And lightning lit the sky
I hovered in my lonely bed
No one was home...but I.



The wind was whipping all around
It sounded like a scream
I wished that I was sound asleep
And this was but a dream.


The shutters on the house did creak
And I covered up my head
Do you think I would be safer
If I crawled beneath the bed?



And then the nightmare did begin
As I heard a scary sound
One step...two steps..on the stairs
My eyes were huge and round!


Three steps...four steps...closer now
I shivered and I shook
The only weapon close to me
Was just a scary book!



I braced myself for what might be
My blankets I held tight
I whispered Lord, help me now
And I prayed with all my might.


Five steps...six steps...closer now
The thing approached my door
I could not stand it any longer
And from my bed I tore!



And then a voice I thought I knew
Whispered in the gloom
"I'm home now Mom, go back to sleep,
I'm going to my room!"
