Halloween Season Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

Halloween Season
Melvin Banggollay

Tomorrow, many shall be
In the cemeteries to see
the tomb of their love ones
who went ahead to glance
the tranquility of silence
with the Creator's presence.

I have to be there to see
Anew the tomb of my daddy
Who always beckoned me
In my every sleepless fantasy
where I behold the beauty
of his great love for me.

I saw how he honored
our dead he treasured
Like his parents who showed
great love that he sowed
for us to reap with owe
with his caring eyebrow.

I behold how he felt sorrow
of letting my little brother go
untimely upon God's meadow
and seek him in every shadow
of the clouds above this fellow
but comforted with a premise
to join them as God had promised.

Now, the time has come for me
to do the same for the family
that someday when I'll rest
this life I have to profess
those that will be left behind
will not let me out of their mind.
