Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks

Giving thanks for Thanksgiving
I know it's God's will
That he brought us great joy
With our Valentine, Lil

She arrived yesterday
With a glint in her eyes
Flying in the last moment
What a pleasant surprise!

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving
And she must fly away
So as in daylight savings
We've turned it back a day

We're celebrating  today 
On  Thanksgiving she'll go
On a 6:00 AM flight
Back to New Mexico

Her visit was quick
For she has her own life
She brought love and joy
For both me and my wife

Lil is our granddaughter
In case you did not know
She'll be leaving fond memories
As she returns to the flow


Lily, I hope you know how much your visit means to Gram and me
Love, Pop
