SUMMER PLAY: night lights

SUMMER PLAY:night lights

Daylight I remember is shorter in September
Time to play in the night never did give a fright
Hide and seek we did play nighttime better than during the day

The night sky had lights to show which way we should go
As we scattered to find our hiding place it felt like a serious race
The night covered us very well that the seeker couldn’t easily tell

Where we hid is the task that would not really last
It’s soon time for bed our playfulness went to sleepy heads
Stars bid us good night as our dreams took high flight

SUMMER PLAY:night lights

Daylight I remember is shorter in September
Time to play in the night never did give a fright
Hide and seek we play at night better than the day

The night sky lights to show which way we should go
As we scatter to find our hiding place feels like a serious race
The night covers us very well the seeker couldn’t easily tell

Where we hid is the task that would not really last
It’s soon time for bed our playfulness changed to sleepy heads
Stars bid us good night as our dreams take high flight
