Kindness' Treat
Bereft of Halloween exposure gain
in a family where such is inane
alien to her, but curiosity prods…
since truth she seeks beyond trickery stain.
Readying herself for challenging bout
she must triumph over attacking doubt
midst reality of souls, sucking blood
in their scheduled children abduction route.
With cautionary zeal, she strives to wait
perhaps lurking vampires today are late
yet, she prays as fear starts gripping her heart…
smiting the feeling of paralyzed state.
Propped by courage from learned Bible story
she dismisses thoughts against what’s gory
cognizant of diabolical schemes
Satan keeps sowing for evil’s glory.
Now, feasting on the peace* of God so sweet
she praises Him for secured love complete
indeed, grateful for bestowed hallowed win
to celebrate while sharing kindness’ treat.
*Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
