Charming Ghost Took a Leap of Faith
Charming Ghost did not want to leave, so he stayed to play.
He got older and bigger and was alone at the end of each day.
His relatives all died, and left him behind, not knowing he was here.
Charming Ghost did not know to go into the light, I do fear.
Go into the light! His grandmother Ghost said from beyond the veil.
He heard her, but did not heed her, stuck around to shake and wail.
The people in the house thought he was their imagination at night.
They did not open up their hearts to him; they were not very bright.
Gargoyles and goblins moved to the white porch of the house.
They scared the tiny rat-like creatures voles, moles, rabbits and mice.
The garden was intact, no one bothered it at all thanks to their help.
They stayed out there and ate up everything from tomatoes to kelp.
One day a fine woman with a four-year-old son moved to this home.
He was in tune with spiritual beings, for he was a reincarnated gnome.
He encouraged Charming Ghost to take a faith leap into the light.
It was the last time the house was haunted, it was last Tuesday night.
