Sunrise

Daylight!

Daylight!

Oh, daylight at last!

Daytime!

Daytime!

The hours have passed—

Of lying there fearing

what’s under the bed.

Of lying there shivering,

trembling with dread.

Oh, dawn!

Oh, sun!

My favorite old friends!

The thing I love best about nighttime

is how, every morning, it ends.
