Halloween!

We pray the souls of the saints

rest in peace,

as the bonfires are lit,

for the Halloween!

Time when the leaves start falling,

and the lines between the dead and living start blurring,

with children guising and treating,

we enter into a whole new world of cherishing.

Streets filled with lights and lanterns,

craved pumkins and dressed up creatures,

homes full of candles and creepy spiders ,

sure a spooky feeling...

as the souls are held in abeyance

to meet the living.

But just as the night begins

when the sun sets

so also the day begins

as the sun rises

just as our hope never ceases.

We wish you a happy Halloween!
