My Thanksgiving

here I sit words around thoughts of loved ones I'm putting down a time past of a place a simple sound laughs, smiles, and faces holiday abound, here I sit with memories of you how early today brought you things to do the smell of pies yams and turkey too how anticipation of the day grew, here I sit smiling and remembering when how family would gather with loved ones and friends how around your cooking hard fillings would mend the day went by so fast we hoped it wouldn't end, here I sit and I wouldn't want it any other way thoughts of you...how you looked...what you would say it's the memories that comfort me and makes it OK here's to thinking of you mom on this thanksgiving day.
