�Twas the night before Halloween
Santa was making toys
But his mind was on the following night
and all the girls and boys.
How much fun he thought it would be
To go from door to door
To fill his bag with all kinds of candy
Or maybe two bags, or more
�Screw It� he shouted as he threw down a toy
�I deserve to have some fun�
�I�ll go back to making toys�
�When Halloween is over and done�
�But what will I go out as�, he said to himself
�Oh what am I to do�?
�Just dress up as yourself� an elf pointed out
�Who would believe its you�
So the following night he dressed himself up
And went out to trick-or-treat
His mind was swirling in fantasies
Of all the candy he will eat
At the first house he yelled trick-or-treat
As the door opened wide
He held out his bag with a smile on his face
And a sense of growing pride
It was a sweet little old lady he saw
As she looked him up and down
But the smile on his face faded away
As he saw her turn around
�you�re too old� he heard her say
as she slammed the door shut tight
and he found the same at every door
that he went to all that night
He watched the kids go by him
Their bags were filled up high
He sat on the curb with his head down
As a tear ran from his eye
Then a little girl, dressed as an angel
Asked him why does he cry?
He told her how no one would give him candy
No matter how hard he would try
She reached into her bag of treats
And pulled out a Hershey�s Kiss
And as she placed it in his hand
His heart was filled with bliss
Then his eyes filled up with tears
And again she asked him why?
He said because an angel showed him love
It was her love that made him cry
When he laid in bed that night
And thought of how the night went
That little angels act of love
He knew was heaven sent
And he closed his eyes and wondered
How even with all the bad
He couldn�t help but smile
What a wonderful night he had
Especially that last moment
The funny look in her eye
When he knocked her down and ran away
With her whole supply
