Kayns Sweet Sleep

As her vision flickered one last time, the man was gone; it was her mother looking into her eyes.

Her mother’s eyes were filled with so much love that it seemed to release her from her pain and fear as it did when she was a small child.  Her mother cradled her as a baby, rocking her back and forth.  She was safe now in her mother’s arms.  She was at peace. Mommy, her heart sang, you’re here to save me.

The warmth of her mother’s love enveloped her tortured soul.  She looked into her mother’s eyes.  She touched Kayn’s face and started to sing a song that she had sang to her every night when she was very small.

Sleep, sweet sleep till the morning

Just dream away and close your eyes

My love you'll be safe until the morning

Sleeping in my heart, all through the night

Although bad dreams come to scare you

My love will scare them all away

My heart

The lights flickered, the pain went away, and her mother was holding her, singing ‘Sleep sweet sleep’.
