I wonder if you know about
the thinning of the veil?
Some say it’s just for Halloween,
a ghostly, Old Wives’ Tale.
I hope it is a place to meet
between your world and mine.
For me, to be a child again.
A chance to turn back time.
 
I may have missed you touch my hair
and tuck my quilt in tight.
Perhaps you just peeked through the door
to whisper “Love, goodnight”.
If you could come back once a year
I know you wouldn’t fail.
So, I wonder if you know
about the thinning of the veil?
 
A meeting place of memory
where love will always flow.
I fell asleep and waited but
I guess you didn’t know.
I pray that I will hear you
whisper to me once again.
The veil will thin once more next year
so I can wait ‘til then.
