Good Night, Sun
The sun is setting in the west.
The evening shadows grow
A bird is flying to its nest,
so homeward I must go
The sun has vanished from the sky,
replaced by starry light.
It's time to put my jammies on.
It's time to say goodnight.
Sleep with the angels, Erika.
Survivors: Parents, Ray and Yvette Grau of Grapevine; brother, Nikolas Grau of Grapevine; and grandparents, aunts and uncles.
