Daylight


a little girl runs around far from feeling faintly exhausted unsure of the time of day she runs back home to check the time no clock in sight, and enough light an era left to play she goes out to play swinging around tree branches, because she is light weightless enough to hold on without the branches becoming exhausted she continues swinging for all of her time for all hours left in her day The end of her day drew near. No longer could the girl play. It was hardly the time for fooling around. It wasn't that she was exhausted there just wasn't enough light. She misses the light. She misses the fun she had that day However, realizing she actually was exhausted she stopped thinking about going out to play. Duties distracted her all around around; she began to lose track of time. the time had come, and again the light could be seen all around a lovely day to go and play but this idea was exhausted The woman remained exhausted because it wasn't her time to play. this light belonged to another day with a little girl running and running around around she went not exhausted it was her day not checking the time she decided it's still light enough to play
