The Child
The night sparkles
Moon and stars in a blanket of sky
a small child's mesmerized
and keeps asking "why?"
The night continues to grow darker
and the child loses interest
the night is not a time for fun -
it is a time to rest
Just before the dawn, it's darkest
and the child prays for light
and once it comes, the child is lost,
forgetting the delight of the night.
