The Most Beautiful Jack o Latern
On All Hallows Eve,
A long long time time ago
There was a tiny jack o lantern,
Whose candle refuse to glow
Every time the big ones lit it
They could not get a flame
And the poor little jack o lantern
Would drop his face in shame
The other jacks made fun of him
They told him he was a loss
And the only thing he was good for
Was the rotten pumpkin toss
his mother told him not listen
"I love you just how you are"
"And no matter what they say,
You are my little shinning star."
He looked into his mother's eyes
And he felt the pain no more
As a matter of fact, in his heart
The joy began to soar
He realized he needed no candle
To brighten his toothy grin
Because sometimes the brightest light
Is the one you have within
