Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving and the time again To stop and note each blessing. Among them we must count of course The turkey and the dressing. We're thankful for the pumpkin pie Cranberries and candied yams. And if we can find space for more Some good rolls spread with jam. We've watched the Macy's grand parade, And await a football game. To miss a single one of these Would surely be a shame. But these are incidentals, What I am truly thankful for Is every one of those who've come Through our Thanksgiving door. Thank you God for all these dear ones Who are today surrounding me And another happy Thanksgiving To store in my memory.
