Do You Remember When ?
We celebrate this Autumn feast
and do you remember when
the turkey was the main event
of a holiday come again ?
Family came from near and far,
I remember that this was so.
Talk of what this holiday meant,
yet the turkey still stole the show.
Times remembered through a child’s eyes
yet I think it must be the same
where throughout all Thanksgiving days
nothing rivals the turkey’s fame.
I would like to think that you agree
but I cannot speak for you.
Does the turkey hold the honored place,
will your heart to it stay true ?
