Last Night

I laid out on my porch last night Listening to coyotes rage a fight I watched the moon with her bright, full face Place a blanket of shadows o’er the landscape Tree frogs croaked a lullaby I saw night critters scamper by I breathed in the cool, fresh night air As my body gave up its daytime cares Inside the house everyone was asleep After praying the Lord their souls to keep I simply marveled at this nighttime world Watching Mother Nature play like a little girl Stars were twinkling in the midnight sky Even saw a satellite passing by My mind was clear of whos, whats, whens and whys The tear that fell was from a happy cry I laid out on my porch last night Refueling my soul for the coming light
