Wales' Tales 10/20/14

Witches, spiders, bees and cats,

People wearing funny hats,

Gathered in the parking lot,

Spying out the things we got

To celebrate our Trunk and Treat.

Come for fun and come to eat

Hot dogs, chips and stuff to drink,

Time to laugh and time to think.

What makes Halloween so fun?

In the dark and in the sun,

Is it costumes, fun to wear?

Or the candy that we share?

Or a time to change our look,

Recognize the chance we took

At being some else in play,

Even only for one day,

We can be the one we choose,

For one day, not much to lose.

Batman, princess, hero strong,

One who sings a different song,

Vampire, villain, zombie chase,

All our fears we can erase

By being someone we might see,

Knowing that we cannot be

The person who we imitate,

For it’s a game that we relate

To trying on another’s skin,

Aware that we can never win

That person whom we try to be.

It’s hidden in a mystery.

And when the mask we must release,

Discover that it’s us in…
