Sara Kendrick Poet Quatrain

Embrace Thanksgiving Day

Peaceful time to reflect and pray
A time to appreciate life
Enjoy some of autumn's harvest
Savor pecan and apple pies

A time to appreciate life
Twenty-four hours to thank God
Gifts of wonderful kin and friends
Who fill our moments and hearts

Enjoy some of autumn's harvest
Sweet potato souffle's flavor
Fresh cranberry-orange relish
God's abundance with a sweet flair

Savor pecan and apple pies
Shared with happy smiling faces
God in His goodness let us live
To embrace Thanksgiving again
