This Halloween, My Child is an Angel

This Halloween, My Child is an Angel



"No tricks, no treats this year


to brighten up her smile

No searches for tiny costumes

down crowded clothing aisles



We won't show up knocking

on our neighbor's door

Or join the goblins and ghouls

collecting candy store-to-store



I did not get to choose

what my child would be this year

For you see, she's gone to heaven

and the future seems so unclear.



But I imagine she has a tiny halo

floating right above her head

And I swear she's watching over us,

and this is what she said:



"I may not get to join you

on this chilly Halloween night,

But I'm a tiny Angel now

and I'm never out of sight.



You can see me in the changing leaves

that fall from up above,

And when the wind whistles by your ear,

I'm whispering my love."
