Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Some Thoughts For November

Another month of days has passed us by
We now prepare for cold November rains
For veterans our hearts will sadly sigh
With daylight savings time some sun we'll gain

The turkey will become our welcome guest
Our families and friends will visit soon
We'll realize how much we're truly blessed
And start to tire of constant Christmas tunes

But yet for some depression will set in
Because of poverty and loneliness
November is the time to call on them
To share the gift of hope and happiness

Thanksgiving Day we'll go to God in prayer
Remember those with nothing in despair.

Judy Ball November 2, 2016 at 5:28 PM I do so agree my friend. We should open our hearts and our home to those who are alone during the holidays. We shouldn't just sigh and say "too bad". We should make an effort to do something about it. Great job here. God Bless, JB Daniel Turner November 2, 2016 at 9:38 PM Thank you, Mrs Judy. I appreciate your super kind comments and support. But most of all for the blessing:):)

Darlene De Beaulieu November 1, 2016 at 8:39 PM Hello Daniel, I enjoyed your poem. Because I lost my husband this year in March,I do not have any Christmas cheer.I will go through the motions of Christmas this year.I enjoyedyour poem. Darlene De Beaulieu November 7, 2016 at 9:03 PM Tim you have a good idea for Thanksgiving Day. I sense that you need a hug consider yourself hugged from me. Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 9:24 PM I am so sorry for your loss, Darlene. I spent last Christmas and Thanksgiving alone. I think this year I'm going to volunteer at the shelter. Being around people who have less will make me more appreciative. Be well my friend:)

Cheryl Hoffman November 1, 2016 at 7:15 PM Very true and heart tugging poem Daniel! You are going to make a lot of hearts happy volunteering for the holidays! The line that made me laugh was getting tired of the constant Christmas tunes; amen to that, lol!:) Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 9:22 PM Thank you, Mrs Cheryl. They have already started them here! I am glad you liked the poem. I appreciate your kind comments and support:)

Ilene Bauer November 1, 2016 at 4:51 PM this is very touching, daniel, and has a powerful message. it's easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget that there are so many needy people out there. Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 9:20 PM Thank you, Mrs Ilene. Yes, I have been guilty myself. this year will be different. I appreciate your kind comments and enjoy your friendly visits. I adore your beautiful smile:)

Jan Allison November 1, 2016 at 4:14 PM A great message Daniel... The season of goodwill can be so so lonely and also a challenge financially especially for those who have small children... a very touching write my friend:-) hugs Jan xx Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 9:18 PM Thank you, Jan. This year, rather than sit here by myself, I am going to volunteer at the local shelter. Try to bring some cheer to those who have less than me. i appreciate your heartfelt comments. It's always my pleasure when you drop by:)

Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 3:57 PM It's hard to believe the year has sped by so quickly, Daniel. Your message is filled with wisdom and truth. This may be my second Christmas in a row spent alone. If not for the Hallmark Channel, it would be heart wrenching. I don't think those turkeys want to be our guests, but I will be sharing some with my sister. An excellent poem! Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 4:02 PM Thank you, Mrs Carolyn. I spend my holidays alone. My children live out west, so this year I am planning to volunteer at the local shelter. I appreciate your kind comments.

Tim Smith November 1, 2016 at 3:38 PM The holidays are hard on the lonely. We all need to be a little more aware and lend a helping hand or give a kind word when we can. Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 3:42 PM Thanks Tim. I'm making plans to serve at a local shelter on Thanksgiving. Hopefully, I can share some smiles:)

Chris Green November 1, 2016 at 3:19 PM Beautiful and heart touching Daniel. There are so many who are in need at all times of the year. Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 3:26 PM Yes, but especially these holiday seasons when people seem to be in the giving spirit, we should make an attempt to help. If we each just help one person with a meal or a coat, what joy it would bring to both.
