You took the time to hand out treats
to pintsize bandits on the street
who rang your bell last Friday night.
It’s what you do each year.

But then come Sunday, did you list
the names of those you dearly miss
who left us through the door of death
within the past twelve months?

There’s Halloween and All Saints Day.
We know the first, but dare I say
we often overlook  the next
and fail to pay our dues.

It’s not too late. There still is time
to make a list. There’s yours and mine.
And thank the Lord for those we’ve lost
who we won’t e’er forget.

Peace to their memory!
