Night

The glistening stars
That shine so brightly

The dark blue sky
That looks like the deep dark sea

This is a time when the kids go to bed
Fast asleep

This is a time when the students
stay up studying for tests and exams

This is a time when the sun is taking its break
And the moon is working the night shift

This is a time when the parents sneak into the kids room
Just to check if they are fast asleep

This is the dark dreamy night
Where you fly through the night

Riding on a magic carpet
With the wind breezing against your cheeks
