It was not just a period
It was not just a time
Many people waited for it
Longing to just see the sun set
To usher in the night
Night!
It was eagerly waited
Burning were our stomachs
With hunger from morning
For we only ate one meal- supper
Night!
It was eagerly waited!
The daylight had passed
So that i may head to work
For security was needed by the rich
And i had the services
Night!
It was eagerly waited!
Woods were dry
Grey in color to light up the fire
So that we may surround grandpa
For night was a storytelling time
Night!
It was eagerly waited
It was glory to the believers
Them that were prayer warriors
Not forgetting the famous night runners
Night!
It was eagerly waited!
It was eagerly waited
To teach them that didn’t know how to out there belongings
And try keep them for them
Night
It was eagerly waited
The twilights girls were beautiful
To be visible in the dark
If not time would slip away
Making darkness disappear
Without even one client
Night!
It was eagerly waited
Night got a lot of secrets
Dark got a lot of memory
And when the time will come
Night will give an account
All the chaos and deeds done
Night
It was eagerly waited!
