| Nancy had gone to the pumpkin patch, her long blonde hair flowing, blonde curls dancing in the wind. Always the "Apple of her Mothers eye." Skipping along, singing, "Mommy I want a different pumpkin this time, one like no one else. I want my pumpkin to be special!" Nancy looked over all the pumpkins, when all of a sudden, with a glimmer in her sparkling eyes..... "Look Mommy, there it is, my pumpkin!" Hmmmm the Mother said, "are you sure?" Reluctantly she paid for the ugly wrinkled, misshapen pumpkin. Nancy hugged her pumpkin and cupped it in her arms. While carving out the pumpkin with her Mother, "isn't this fun?" Her Mother smiled with joy over her daughters delight of Halloween. "You just wait Mommy, my pumpkin will be the most beautiful you have ever seen!" They put a smily face on the pumpkin with teeth, slanted bullish eyes and a big candle to shine brightly. That night out on the porch the "Ugliest Pumpkin" was shining brightly, as all the children arrived in costume and saying "Trick or Treat" A few of the children stopped to marvel at the "Halloween Pumpkin", and one little boy said to the group, "my gosh, that pumpkin seems to have a glow of warmth and happiness..... look at the smile on his beautiful face." Nancy peering from the window, a tear streaming down her cheek, "my pumpkin has a heart and it beats brightly for all the children to enjoy." Happy Halloween Everyone Through the eyes of a child, how beautiful! Dedicated to my daughter "Nancy" |
