An American Thanksgiving Retourne
Plans are made and family gather
by land or air, back to their roots.
Excitement builds; home is in view!
Across the nation, what great feasts!
By land or air, back to their roots
many have traveled; some have not!
Some, with dread, come out of duty,
but many others come with smiles.
Excitement builds; home is in view.
Kids at last can see their cousins!
Some may return to leaf-strewn streets.
Others come sliding in on ice!
Across the nation, what great feasts,
with turkey passed round the tables.
With relatives, friends or colleagues,
folk chat and give thanks on this day!
