Frost is on the pumpkin
Chill is in the air
Leaves are gently falling
Swirling here and there.
Many different faces
Costumes in the night
Gremlins, ghouls and goblins
Causing quite a fright.
Vampires in the darkness
Hobos in the street
Ghosts are ringing doorbells
Time for trick-or-treat.
Candles in the window
Faces all aglow
Painted little munchkins
Put on quite a show.
Full of tricks and sorcery
Warlocks in the night
Lamps are shining brightly
Makes for quite a site.
Lots of spells and magic
Witches do appear
Riding on their broomsticks
Halloween is here.
They say that it is harmless
Nothing more than fun
But Satan won't surrender
Until his work is done.
Razors stuck in candy
Poison found in treats
Children must be wary
Of everyone they meet.
Wild and crazy parties
Hosted by adults
People bent on mischief
Belong to deadly cults.
Yet our little children
Wander in the night
Dressed like little demons
Cannot see the light.
The evil that is lurking
Goes about unseen
Is covered up with candy
And all things in-between.
There is a world of darkness
That lurks within the night
Dungeons, ogres and dragons
Is not a pretty sight.
We need to read the Bible
The scripture quoted there
The wicked ways of pagans
Is found most everywhere.
Look to the light of Jesus
Past witches painted green
In little pumpkins all aglow
This year on Halloween.
