Halloween’s just around the corner <br />As children plan their scary <br />Costumes and parties <br />I remember as a child <br />Sitting in school <br />Coloring pictures of leaves <br />And pumpkins <br />For the school windows <br />The smell of paste in the air <br />Along with exciting <br />Anticipation of that <br />Special Night! <br />How joyous to be a child <br />But then, isn’t there still <br />Just a glimmer <br />Of child in each of us <br />Still when that special <br />Night appears?<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/halloween-25/
