Morning and Night

By Ore

As the day turns dark

Fireflies leave their hiding

flittering, flying in the air.

Children come out to chase

the beautiful cretures.

They catch them as if their hands were nets.

Bats open their eyes ready to fly

They catch what they can, but

Morning is coming soon.

People sleep all night.

All is silent.

Soon moon changes places with sun.

Fireflies go back to their hiding places.

Bats go to sleep and the rooster crows.

One by one the people climb out of bed

to get ready for work.

Children grab their bookbags and go to school.

Soon night will come again.

Bats will hunt,

Fireflies will fly,

and sun will trade places with moon.

And the rooster will wait for morning.
