Night Sounds

I pull my blanket up to my chin,
And listen to the sounds begin.
The wind is whistling through the trees,
While raindrops dance upon the leaves.

My room feels cozy, warm, and bright,
A perfect place to spend the night.
The thunder rumbles far away,
But here I'm safe until the day.

I love these sounds that help me sleep,
These gentle noises, soft and deep.
My eyelids grow heavy as I lay,
Dreaming of tomorrow's sunny day.
