Chapter 37

October 28, 2011 – That evening

There is

A Hallowe’en function

At our church

This evening

For kids

My husband

And I

Decide

That our son

Needs a night

Of dressing up

And silly games

And sillier prizes

And hayrides

And lots of candy

And maybe

Most of all

Pretend

So I dress

My little boy

In a white sweat suit

With ears

And whiskers

And claws

And a tail

And a crown

And he is

For one night

The King

Of All

Wild Things

And he looks

Fierce

And brave

And

Fearless

And I

As the mother

Of the King

Of All

Wild Things

I too

For one night

Feel
Fierce
And brave
And

Fearless
