Thankful

The bird has reached the oven
the fixings now prepared
it's the start of something special
my love has infused the air

The sun has brought forth beauty
there's a rhythm to the breeze
I stare out in the wonder
to eyes, profound appease

I'm thankful for her friendship
and thankful for her care
I'm thankful for our journeys
and for all the things we share

Soon we all shall gather
and pass around this love
I'll save a little stuffing
to feed my morning dove
