Default To My Son, On Halloween

This is my first effort, and I'm a super-sappy new mom. I just wanted to share this with you guys.


To My Son, on Halloween

May you always feel the way you do on this day.
With the newly chilled air on your tiny ears,
And the smell of impending winter in your nose for the first time.

May you always feel the way you should in a good costume.
I hope it makes you feel brave, bold, and safe.

May you relish being slightly scared, and be able to
enjoy that feeling, knowing that mommy will always
be your glowing, warm home to rush back to.

Enjoy and remember your first taste of candy,
as I will always remember kissing your sticky face and fingers.

Today I see your future, years of superhero costumes
and monster costumes stretch ahead of you,
and I feel my heart stretch out to follow you trick or treating.

I see you running further away from me, embroiled
in Halloween madness, my little candy berserker.

And I see myself smiling, watching you, savoring
what I hope will be the best memories of your life.
May you always feel the way you do on Halloween.

I'm with you gals - I'm all mushy and teary-eyed now also.

What a wonderful poem.
