Today Is Halloween

Today is Halloween

Today is Halloween
Tonight will drive me wild
One of my very favorite days
When I was still a child

I'm taken back by memories
As the years go by a feat
Remembering the fun times
When I would Trick or Treat

A sandwich bag within my grasp
Or an optimistic pillow case
Throughout the neighborhoods
In my costume I would race

I had to really hurry
Knew the candy would not last
All the other kids would get it
If I was not very fast

But that was long ago
For years been rising from my chair
When the knock of Trick or Treaters
Takes me to the door that's there

In my hands a bowl of candy
On my face a welcome smile
Question who they're dressed as
Get them to talk a little while

Try not keep them very long
Give them candy so no trick
Then off they race on down the street
The goodies still go to the quick

I don't think that any know it
But I'm racing with them there
In my memories Trick or Treating 
Instead of waiting in my chair

If you took this as a sad tale
Well it isn't that at all
It still makes me very happy
Being Trick or Treated in the Fall
