lighting up
making an insane person
out of a moon
a drift a dream
a place we miss
and say goodnight
to the five hundred
examples of the words
passed down
from generation to generation
frightened to admit
that the time at home with you
is so much better
much better than a night out
or a fancy dinner
or a concert waiting for another concert
but it is not the
day to do anything but be thankful
and enjoy
a nightlight
