As Halloween is approaching,
And each child anticipates,
What treats he will get at the next house,
They are eager to see what awaits.

Inside the next house they are ready.
They made each treat special this year.
And inside the house, they hear “Trick or Treat”!
The children wait for someone to appear.

As the door starts to slowly open,
The children are afraid of what they’ll see.
Suddenly, a man dressed as Casper the Ghost,
Jumps out and the kids laugh with glee.

Finally, the anticipated moment arrives.
All eyes watch to see what Casper does.
With a smile on his face, he gives to each child,
A smiling pumpkin filled with God’s love.

He has worked through the day on these treasures.
He wanted everything to be just right.
He filled every pumpkin with candy galore,
To give out on Halloween night.

He wanted to share with the children,
God’s gift straight from Heaven above.
So, they would know it is ok with Jesus,
To have Pumpkins Filled with God’s Love.

When you are a child things are easy.
You just want to have fun everyday.
It’s fun to dress up in costumes,
And see what prizes come your way.

Tonight all the children are happy,
As Casper has made them all grin.
He gave out Pumpkins filled with God’s Love,
And they are delighted with him.
