Day and Night

Day is when the sun comes out,
Bright enough to enlighten everyone’s day.
Night is when the moon comes out,
Ready to give us dreams and nightmares.

Day reminds us of animals,
Like birds, deer, rabbits, and squirrels.
Night reminds us of mythical creatures,
Such as unicorns, vampires, and werewolves.

Day is like a drawing of everyday life;
Night is just a black and white picture.
Day sings loud and clear for us;
Night only hums and mumbles.

Day is a different person to everyone,
Santa Claus to children, a helpful friend to adults.
It helps us forget the past.
It reminds us to keep moving forward.

Night is the same person to everyone,
A monster, a stranger, a shadow.
Sometimes it doesn’t let you move forward.
But sometimes, it helps you learn your mistakes from the past.

Day is just an acquaintance to me
But Night is my best friend.
