Last Halloween....(October 31, 2012)
I still can't believe
what I saw, last Holloween..
I took a walk in the
woods, not far from
where I live...
I saw a brigh glow, it came from a tree..
As I looked at the tree, a spider looked up at me..
With eyes made of pearls and said to me...
"Only on Halloween, this happens to me"..
"I'm all dressed in gold, this tree has a glow, my web sparkles all through the night"
"This tree is made of pearls and ribbons and silver and gold"..
"I do have to say, I like it this way"...
"When the clock passes twelve, this all goes away"..
The spider then turned and crawl back
into it's web,,
As I walked away, I turned to look
at the tree,
it was a beauty to behold...
So, this Halloween
I'll look for the glow
I'll walk by that same tree,,
And see
if I see
what I saw
last Halloween...
