The sun shone bright
Shedding all its light
On the grass, the trees, and the dew.
The moon big and round
Looked down on the ground
And shined through the blinds of the room.
The clouds floated by
As on our backs we lie
Finding animals and things in each one.
The stars just a twinkling
Our eyes are just blinking
As we watch for one to zip through the sky.
