Weekly Memory Work: Halloween poem and John 8:12

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I made a jack-o-lantern

For Halloween night.

He has three crooked teeth

But he can't bite.

He has two round eyes

But he can't see.

He's a jolly jack-o-lantern

As happy as can be.
