Trick or treat

I take from my sack a memory of the past

a friend that had never seen Halloween

wanting to give him an experience that would last

taking our children, he stood between

Short and in a costume he fit right in

although senior citizen, he appeared a child

he held out his bag to those within

his goodies higher and higher piled

Holding out his sack, hair on his hands back

All the children were now asked to take off their masks

He lifted his hood, paint or face covering he did lack

looking at him, take off your mask the candy giver asks

A flawlessly penned eerie write to celebrate Hallowe'en. I give candy to every person who knocks, man, woman, child or older. It is so nice to honour the old traditions. Sad that the candy giver asked your friend who had never experienced Hallowe'en to take off his mask! It was unnecessary! I hope he enjoyed being part of the event and that happy memories were made to recall at another time, another place. Lovely work, Soren. Thank you for sharing...

Thanks so much Pat for the read and comment yes it is true we all wear many masks some good, some bad and some just plain ugly. It is only with very few people that we feel safe enough to take off our mask

It's good, I liked that they still wanted him to take off the mask without him wearing one. Makes me think of the twilight zone movie where the seniors were able to be kids again.
