I remember oh so long ago
You dressed me up for treats.
We saw our neighbors’ smiling faces
Friends in costumes, filling the streets.
Mom stayed home and opened the door
While Dad took us to trick or treat
A smile on my face on Halloween
The memories are truly sweet
I raised my children with thoughts of you
Hallows Eve is hard to beat
I still remember the times we shared
Carving pumpkins, apple bobbing and sweets
I watch my children through your eyes
Now they’re raising their own
I hope you realize just how much
I appreciate you for all you have done
The memories are still alive in us
You are celebrated at this time of year.
You made Halloween special for us-
The traditions, the fun and the fear!
Tonight when we’re stuffed with candy
And we’ve celebrated with our friends
I will go to bed with thoughts of you
Mom & Dad, your magic never ends.
I thank you for the traditions
Of the times we share in love
I know you still watch over us
Even if you are watching from above
I’ll dream of ghosts and goblins
And of witches that I’ve seen
A dream of childhood trick-or-treating
On this Happy Halloween.
