The Hunger Drug

I can't remember when I ate my last meal How many weeks ago was it? I cannot recall or even what it was that I had to eat Turkey I think on Thanksgiving Yes, it was Turkey A turkey that some generous person donated to the food pantry that they gave to me Did that generous person know? Do they know? That it would be my only meal for days and weeks on end probably not and so I wanted to write these words to tell them “Thank You” that they made a difference in my life that I and my children did not have to go to bed hungry three weeks ago on Thanksgiving and it was wonderful I am trying to remember what that felt like © Christine A Kysely All Rights Reserved (December 8th, 2011 Wausau, Wisconsin USA)
