Nightlights

Nightlights are little lights plugged into the wall,
They guide us at night,
Through the creepy darkness,
But nightlights don't have to be the ones plugged in the wall. 

Nightlights can be the person you hold closest at night,
The person who will check the noise down the hall,
The person that protects you when needed most,
But nightlights don't have to be a person either. 

Nightlights can be the fur ball curled up at the end of your bed,
The fur ball that makes you feel safe at night when no ones around,
The fur ball that licks the tears off your face late at night,
But nightlights don't have to be your fur ball either. 

Nightlights can be anything that make you feel safe in your darkest moments,
They brighten up the room and make you feel safe,
Animate or inanimate,
Nightlights can be anything that make us feel safe in the dark.
