Darkness calls early, whirling colored leaves;

Shhhh... Hear the scamper of those tiny little feet?

Tonight, they come calling for a Trick or a Treat;
Their sacks are bulging with delightful stash,
Running with friends, race to the dash!
Shuffling in disguise, hurrying to your door,

Adorable little goblins eager for more;

Remember this night when you could be anyone?

The simplest costume, the ticket to fun?

Their folly reminds us the youth of our past,

Such pleasure to behold, encourage and hold fast;

For carefree youth scurries quickly away,

As adulthood  comes calling and here we stay...

So as you fill each bag of goodies tonight,

Remember... always keep imagination in your sight...  ~SMF
