Jack-O-Lantern Light

PUMPKIN
We bought a fat orange pumpkin
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
And only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
Of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose,
A jagged mouth and two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
And we put a candle in,
Then lit it up for all to see
Our jack-o-lantern grin.

JACK-O-LANTERN
Jack-o-lantern, Jack-o-lantern,
You are such a funny sight
As you sit there by the window,
Looking out at the night.
You were once a sturdy pumpkin
Growing on a vine.
Now you are a Jack-o-lantern,
See the light shine.

HAPPY ALL HALLOWS EVE!
(The moon is almost full!)

The Bright Flame of Thanksgiving

May your heart be an altar,
from which the bright flame
of unending thanksgiving
ascends to heaven.
