Thanks For a Priceless Memory

Thanksgiving dinners are just not the same .......when you move far away from home But my siblings and I had no choice .......to obtain jobs we had to roam When our mother said she was coming to visit .......we were so happily elated For we all knew that we were in for a treat .......and our tastebuds would soon be sated Mom once again out did herself ........Thanksgiving dinner was deliciously amazing Having her with us and cooking with love .......she deserved all of our praising She proudly stated, "I'm glad I haven't lost my touch" .......her face full of loving affection My siblings and I all readily agreed .......that her meal was cooked to perfection But when I added, "Yes, mom you're stilled touched" .......you could have heard a pin drop Then gales of laughter followed .......that no one could seem to stop For I was known as the sweet one ......so out of character for me to say Mom knew I was making a joke .......creating a memorable Thanksgiving day Nov 5, 2019 Contest~ Thanksgiving Memory Sponsor ~ Regina Riddle

Yes, it is a good memory, especially since our mom passed. As they get older hopefully they'll stay longer....but quality time is as good a quantity. Thank you for visiting. Hugs
