I will turn back the pages of my life to Christmas's so sweet and old, when me, mom and dad would make meat pies; and we watched Gone With The Wind with sighs, the pies were our Christmas surprise. Mom mixed the meat, I talked and dad filled, and the dough rolled, seems to me that we baked fifty pies or more; for all those coming to our Christmas Day door, and into each pie our love and joy did pour. It was a lot of work for us but they were beautiful pies to behold, oh, a long movie was that- Gone With The Wind; and we liked each word nice and unkind, I have some sweet memories in my mind. Mom and grandma wrapped each cooked meat pie in waxed paper gold, and that movie still makes me happy in my heart; each Gone With The Pie gift- are part of heart-warming memories that never depart. ______________________________ November 16, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/Gone With The Wind Copyright Protected, ID 18-1085-593-01 All Rights Reserved.

Darlene, thanks for visiting my poem and commenting. Yes, those meat pies were hard work but oh so delicious. I never read the book Gone With The Wind but must have been amazing. The movie sure brings back good memories for me.

Hello Dear Heart, I also remember the meat pies my husband and i use to make. I do not do this any more. Gone With The Wind was also a good read. I read this book cover to cover. Have a nice day my friend.

Andrea, thanks for visiting and commenting, yes it was a nice tradition, and those were French Canadian meat pies, very rich, one could only eat a small piece at a time, but they were amazing. I miss those kinds of traditions, now that my family is in Heaven above, my sister does try her best to put on a nice Christmas but it is not the same, I always say my mom and dad took Christmas with them when they went to heaven~

I am reading down here that you actually made a whole bunch of those pies as stated in your poem.Wow, that is amazing, What a fantastic tradition your family had. I used to do assembly line Xmas treats. I'd make over 13 types of candies and cookies and send them out to at least 10 relatives. It was quite the project i invented. i stopped doint it before 2000. just no time after that and plus i would gain too much weight doing it!! I think your idea for this contest was clever.

Jan, thanks for visiting my poem and commenting I appreciate so much, this is a true story, we had an assembly line going to make all those pies for Christmas, it was a real family task and one I treasure, and those pies were yummy too ~
