The Fruit of Halloween

Halloween comes, Halloween goes and Halloween comes again.

Pumpkins are picked, pumpkins are carved and Jack-O-Lanterns are lit.

Costumes are worn, tricks are played and treats are given.

However,
even in the dark, creepy and crawly night fruit is found.

It comes in the form of a child that calls out, "Happyween" with each knock of the door.

It also is found in knowing that you will read: A Favorite Halloween Story of Mine.

So to my daughter I say, "I hope you always have a Happyween." To my friend, Cherie Bowser, I offer my
gratitude and to all of you I say thank you for your readership.
