Halloween,2007
The 'guest' arrived in droves
Until finally a straggler came almost too late,
While in the shadows an adult waited.

'Trick or Treat' was whispered
Almost too quite to hear
Unless you were at the door, standing near.
This one had no idea of what to fear.

Candy for the treat was offered
With no questions asked.
'What tricks might be in store? '
There was silence, nothing more.

'What a costume you have
So pretty and nice
Just the one for this Halloween.'

And the most beautiful words to hear:
'My Mom Made It! ' said loud and clear.
