The little girl sits on her bed
In the corner near the wall
Its two A.M. and no one’s up
But she isn’t tired at all!
With a flashlight in one hand
And a book in another,
She reads as quickly as she can, without the slightest care
that what she reads isn’t real she keeps on living in her
own land.
Its three AM and she is still awake!
Her hand is paining but oh! How can she rest?
The book she read was just about to end.
“A little more” she whispers to herself.
Promising she would sleep soon but now its 5 A.M. and
the girl still sits.
Wishing again to see the midnight moon.
Her hand is still paining and the rest of the body even
more!
