Remembering Halloween Poem by Audrey Heller

</>It's awfully quiet tonight! There's not one
child, in sight! There is no knocking on the
door, or any young child, asking for more!
That in itself, is a matter of fact and I can't
help but wonder, where they're all at! I've
noticed a big decline, throughout the years,
for I guess there are those, who have doubts
and fears! Times I guess have made it so,
for no one, has that get up and go! It's really
too bad, for the youngsters of today, as they're
missing out, on one of the scariest nights of
the year. But that's what it's all about, when
Halloween, is here! It's a day for fun, for
everyone, enjoy the sights you see. Look
there goes a skeleton, he can run pretty fast,
at that. Quick, over there, I just saw, a big,
black cat! Costumes here and costumes
there, you try to get in a glance, but if you
don't do it quick enough, you'll not, get
another chance! See, what the children are
missing! I ask myself, why is this so? There's
got to be a change in attitude and parents,
I direct this to you as it's time for you to make
decisions, it's time to let, your little ones go!
Now of course, I don't mean without you, by
their side. They still need supervision and as
their parent, you'll always be, their guide!
