Santa giving out Halloween candy

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Happy Ho-Ho-Holloween!

From October 31, 2013.

A pirate and Mario green

On Santa’s front porch can be seen.

Oh, the memories from nine years past

May they give a smile that will last.

As the years raise, sails on the mast,

Sailing us to other shores, too fast.

To hold a moment in our hands

Is hard because of where we stand.

We want to be still, a rock on land,

But that is often not how it’s planned.

So, remember now all things seen,

Smelled, felt, and comforting.

Knowing most will be only a sheen,

A glittering moment from which we have been.
