Happens at Night

I feel something under my bed

I hear his sound and feel his breath

something moves, creeps beneath me

something big, but I cannot see

I hear a roar, but nothing shows

I'm still tense and my fear grows

strange shadows across the light

why these things happen at night?

I see a shadow running to the wall

I begin to scream as he walks

he stops, turns and looks at me

he goes out, leaving me scared

Sleep, my son, was a nightmare

Go back to sleep and don't be scared

I'll sleep and turn out the light

son, these things happen at night
