GOODnight

The crickets cry
The moonlight shines
Beneath the stars
Is where I reside
The children laugh
The adults play
Faces smile
This night is gay
The voices are merry
The birdsong is sweet
One last dance
Before the night is complete
The wind rustles the leaves
Like water in free-fall
The charm of this night
Still resides in all
And as they lay down to rest
With that song in their minds
And that light in their hearts
They whisper one last "Goodnight."
