A Halloween Prayer

"A HALLOWEEN PRAYER" - Mark Tomlinson

Please protect me Jack ‘O’ Lantern
From the things that walk this night.
May your candle burn unhindered
And your jagged smile be bright.
Let your orange light surround me 
with a wall of magic light.
Please protect me Jack ‘O’Lantern
From the things that walk this night.
Please defend me Jack ‘O’Lantern
From the things that mean me harm.
From the fangs and claws of monsters;
From the witches deadly charm.
Send them fleeing from my doorstep
Lost in panic and alarm.
Please defend me Jack ‘O’Lantern
From the things that mean me harm.
