Dressed in dazzling uniforms, they march in perfect formation

Watch, as they begin the dance, creating an incredible sensation

Wooden Soldiers have come to life, can you imagine the surprise

Of little children, staring in awe, oh! The wonder in their eyes!!

I heard them shout, “It’s Halloween!”

As children scurried, about the scene

Clad in costumes, their faces painted

I’m sure we’ve never been acquainted

But still they come, and ring the bell

Trick or Treat, I hear them yell

Such silly little things, are they

Who walk about and head my way

I’ll greet them with a kindly smile

And watch them grab my candy pile

Then suddenly, they’ll take off running

They think they’re sly and ever cunning

But I got them good, just wait and see

I’ve made this for them, especially

A potion, of which is quite austere

Something to make it perfectly clear

Halloween is a night for ghouls

Witches, goblins, black cats, and fools

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Platinum rockets outshine the night

Setting on fire, this battle of wills

Radioactive, they tarnish the skies

Feeling nothing, only out for the kill

Men, women, children, die horrible deaths

Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected

War torn and ravished, faraway lands

Unable to fight back, quite unprotected

Peace needs a place, to call its home

An Earthly portal, to welcome all

Three nations together, cannot do it alone

For when evil wins, the mighty will fall

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain.  May God watch over them…

When children giggle

Frolicking through autumn’s leaves

Joyous sounds echo

Perhaps the man in the moon
Is not a man at all
Perhaps he’s just a little boy
One who’s rather small

He likes to hang around by day
In the light, he can’t be seen
Swinging merrily, above the clouds
His expression, quite serene

But, the only way to truly know
Is to awaken from your dream
Sadly, that would chase him away
And that’s really too extreme

So, let your imagination take you
Let the sandman lead you on
Before the light of day appears
And the illusion, all at once, is gone
