Five Haikus

Tossing and turning
Awake, I am, in the night
Slumber will not come
Safely protected
In your arms, I want to be
From all things evil
Daylight brings laughter
In the heart of the city
Night, dangers abound
Children dream pleasures
Joyful and playful their lives
Pray, they find their way
Spring rain sparkles bright
Winter, dormant life awaits
Spring rain makes life new
