Poem

Once a year we gather but this year will be quite different,
for fifty year’s my family has dinner at my grandparent’s home-
But last March my grandpa died and it just won’t be the same,
my poor grandma was left without her soulmate, lost and alone. 

An unfortunate circumstance happened last month,
my grandma lost her balance, fell and broke her hip-
Doctor said surgery wasn’t an option, her heart too weak,
but she fought so hard and ended up living through it. 

So, this year Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated in a hospital,
her children flying from all over the country to enjoy the holiday-
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren there to celebrate too,
and maybe we can all make her miss grandpa less in some way.

All she asked for was nothing but a plate of sweet potatoes,
my dear mother will use grandma’s secret Thanksgiving recipe-
I’m sure she would love some stuffing and cranberries,
along with my mother’s famous rotisserie turkey.

Once a year we gather but this year will be quite different,
no more Thanksgiving Day held at grandma’s homestead-
I’m sure it will be difficult for her to spend it without grandpa,
as she celebrates Thanksgiving Day in a hospital bed.
