Memories

Today as Halloween draws near I see scary, hideous masks and decorations. Each one meant to scare a body and cause most frightening, heart-stopping sensations My mind takes me back to the times when my childhood in Montana held sway Excitement would fill us and happiness reigned as we held our breaths for Halloween day Our Teacher would help us draw pumpkins and every window held leaves of red and gold We made our own bags with funny faces for all the candy they could possibly hold. Maybe Heaven, where I will go one sweet day will have the good things and none of the sad. It makes contemplating death less fearful, escaping all of the meanness and evil and bad.
