What About Angels

"Mom!" Jeffery yelled, startled awake. A noise by his closet had awoken him from one nightmare to a whole new one. His mother came in, flipping on his lamp so they could see. She stood in the door way in a pale blue tank top and long pajama pants. The pretty drawings on her arms and shoulders clearly visible. Even the small anchor on her ankle. She came in closing the door and sat own next to him on his bed. She wrapped her arm lovingly around his shoulders, and her wrapped his arm around her waist, resting his head where her shoulder met her chest. "What is it, Jeffy? What happened, honey?" He told her about his nightmare and how the noise he heard was exactly like the one in the dream. "I'm scared, Mom. What if the Monsters get me?" His voice sounded small, even to his own ears. His mom was always so brave and strong, even Dad said Mom was really brave. "Jeffery, those monsters won't hurt you.They can't." She brushed the loose strands of hair from his face. "That's easy for you to say, you're fearless." She laughs a little. Mom had a pretty laugh, half air and half sound. "No, not fearless. No one can be fearless because it's impossible. It's facng those fears and not letting them control you. You can't let fear decide who you are." His eye brows came to together, ceasing the skin inbetween. "How?" She let out a breath and paused before continueing. "You just have to remember God sent you Angels to protect you, and nothing can truly hurt you until God decides your time's up. You're indistructible until God calls you home." He snuggled closer to his mom. She didn't know he knew, but he had seen them before. Mom and some drawings on her back. A big pair of wings rested on her back. Tan, brown and white, the colors of a hawk's wings. Mom was right, God had sent him and Angel.
