Halloweens Come and Go #8

You don't frighten me, my darling. I would know you anywhere, Though you're in that witches costume And that scary mask you wear. For a moment I am flustered, Such a creature to behold. Then I hear that little giggle Just as in the days of old. I've been missing your appearance For these many a Halloween, Since I dressed you in October As a little fairy queen. When you grew little older You left all of that behind. You thought Halloween was nonsense, There were other treats to find. I've been sitting at my window For the first ghosts to appear Of the Halloweens of used to be, Expecting none this year. Then I hear the doorbell ringing And I bolt from my big chair. On the doorstep stands two tricksters, Yelling at me "Trick or Dare". All the joys of the past years Are now back this Halloween As I see you in your costume With your little fairy queen. By Joyce
