Halloween
When I was a kid free candy was a dream
And the only reason to enjoy Halloween
I never was one to wear spooky clothes
I was the princess nurse or singer you know
I became a mom and did delight
In letting my son enjoy the night
His grannie got him a costume I didn’t like
He was scream for Halloween a fright
Now that I’m old with no kids to scold
I look back over my days of old
I don’t celebrate Halloween anymore
I don’t knock those who do enjoy the gore
Now people have to be careful
Some are mean and not prayerful
Dangers of poison in candy so wild
Or worse even sex offender pedophile
I saw Halloween as a creative day
It now is a unsafe holiday without faith
Unless you are careful and you behave
But the fun seems to be slipping away
