A tiny Bride, with a veil,
her mother’s when we wed,
White dress, white tights,
black school shoes,
her bouquet left in the car,
her mind on the treats,
this Halloween Night.
Her first time walking
to darkened houses, bright lit
ghouls, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns
“Trick or Treat!”, she cried,
and got treats each time;
Her bag grew heavy,
heavier than her sisters’
the Princess and Ballerina.
Walking carefully on sidewalks,
front steps, pushing the bell,
waiting patiently for the answer
of the people inside
saying her, “Thank you’s”,
moving on down the street
to the next adventure
on the Night of Treats.
