Up All Night


Stars Sparkle in the midnight sky

Crickets chirp, Frogs croak, and Fireflies dance flashing their light upon the wall

The light so bright like at a movie premier

I cannot sleep even though I'm exhausted and counting sheep only makes it harder

Getting up would be fine but waking the house would be a crime

So I'll stay in bed and try to read until the Sandman brings me a dream
