Thanks On Thanksgiving

I sit  here writing remembering when
many holidays soon had to end
each year I wait to dress turkey and more
hoping many  people knock at the door
 pies are made with pumpkin and spice 
and soon it'll be time to put out the ice
for drinks of cheer with lots of talk
later it'll be time to take a walk
now  the turkey needs to be dressed
stuffing for many  with cranberries best
food will fill many  a large appetite
mashing potatoes so fluffy and light
the day's  starting out to be very bright
family arriving  with friends mighty nice
Thanksgiving's Day a  special thrill
for family, friends, and so many spills
but we pray for everyone who share this day
 to give  thanks in there own way.
