Nighttime

It's at night that I feel at best
Knowing that I can lay down and finally rest

That's the time when the stars come out
There's one winking at me, I must have some serious clout

The moon watches over the earth 
When Dracula prowls, possibly he left blood on your hearth

The kids all snicker because their favorite TV show comes on
My hubby and I watch our favorite rom-com

Restaurants are filled as chefs are preparing 
Food from around the world if you are daring

Teens take off for their first date
Hoping they have enough money and the kiss is first rate

The lights all shine from the skyscrapers in NYC 
Morning will come soon, it's almost over, what a pity.
