just barely
and the sky is pitch black
save a bright orange glow
on the horizon
the stars burn white
beside
the silver moon
first family night
of fetching candy from
nearly strangers
all beneath
that silver moon
she shouts
this is so fun!
as she trips down driveways
bare arms flying in the night
purple. fairy. princess.
and over her shoulder
a THANK YOU!! flies
through the night
a heartfelt afterthought
bringing chuckles and smiles
at her beautiful honey voice
so small
so sweet
carefully pronouncing the given phrase
for requesting treats
just as she was told
probably by her teacher
following the rules with
gleeful abandon
even down to the flashlight
small hands in big hands
giggles
and yawns
this purple fairy princess
so precious
