Today is a day I really dread
Halloween is not my jam
I remember not liking it as a kid
I dressed up only once
What I do enjoy is handing out candy
Watching the kids in their jubilant state
So young and happy to be alive
That energy I would love to have
The creatures and the costumes
The littles dressed and ready
I wait for the pictures
Of the boys and their bountiful grab
I wonder why Halloween meant nothing to me
Why I enjoy the joys of others
I guess my addiction to reality
Doesn't allow a creative fun side
The candy bowl is filled to the brim
Backups close behind
I hope the kids come out tonight
I'd hate the eat the leftovers
To break away from reality
Maybe I should give it a try
I relive my childhood through my boys
The three word phrase that fills the night
