Recollections of childhood
when life was simplistic,
brings to memory, days 
filled of toilsome work

Jaws she blows tricks and treats
just the sweetest pumpkin,

Through the church window
in the 20th century of faces
impaled gingerly
in velvet glow
flickering shadows against
the walls
an organ streams

Through the church...
