Monsters
When I was a little girl, I believed there were monsters hiding underneath my bed.
Every night, my daddy would check to make sure I was safe and I would sleep without fear because I knew that he could do anything and that he would never let the monsters hurt me.
As I grew older I stopped believing in monsters and I went out into the world with all the strength and confidence that he taught me.
And then the monsters stole me away.
I never doubted he was looking for me but child-like faith is harder when you are no longer a child and they had taken me so far from home that I feared he would never find me.
I will never doubt again. No matter what it takes or costs, he will be there.
Monsters are real but I can sleep without fear because I know that my daddy will never, ever let them hurt me.
