Halloween Poem

'Twas Halloween night and all through the sky,
The clouds hid the moon as the bats glided by.
I was dressed all in white in my mama's white sheet,
Walking with friends down the ghost haunted street.

All the kids were dressed in bright costume array,
While flashlights and streelights guided our way.
We giggled and laughted as we hurried to each door,
Ringing or knocking, then laughing some more.

There were pumpkins aglow and skeletons dangling,
Scarecrows and shadows and silver chains clanging.
Grownups in masked faces opened doors in greeting,
As we stood with our bags and waited for treating.


Some people say that we should not have this night,
That to many kids are harmed by the sights or the fright.
But it's the one time of year when we can pretend to be
Someone else for awhile, not you not even me.

Let Them celebrate now, as the bats glide on by,
For childhood is brief, like the blink of an eye.
Listen to their laughter and let the children be,
Someone else for awhile, not you and not even me.
