A Day Time Poem

It's not nighttime!
It is day!
Mommy! Daddy!
Time to play!
The moon is gone
The stars are too
It's daytime now
What should we do?

Maybe we'll go to some railroad tracks
And watch the trains go clickety-clack.
Watching trains is my favorite way
To spend a sunshiny day.

Maybe we'll visit the zoo today
And watch the animals climb and play.
Of course my favorite thing at the zoo
Is to see the train- there's one there, too!

Or maybe to the aquarium we'll go
To see the fish: red, green and yellow
If we go there, my dearest wish
Is to see the otters and starfish.

Or maybe we'll go to Gymboree
Where I can climb and jump, you see.
We raise the parachute high and low
And search all around for Baby Gymbo.

I really like the bookstore, too
Train table, Legos, there's lots to do
And if I'm very good, you see
I get to take a book home with me!

Some days, we don't get in the car
We stay home to play, don't travel far
I like to paint, and read and zoom
My cars and trains around the room.

And then the sun begins to sink
A good time for a bath, I think
My jammies on, my books are read
It's time to snuggle up in bed.

It's not daytime.
It is night.
Mommy! Daddy!
Snuggle me tight.
The sun is gone
The clouds are, too.
It's nighttime now
Sweet dreams, I love you.
