::Thanksgiving::

crops brought in fields bare
      harvest time answered prayers 
             festive feast prepared 
       laughter sounds family shares
     new born stirs ~ why hello there

The season’s harvest included a new family member. How wonderful, David and so is your Tanka.

Heya Jenna, the most memorable occasions really are when a new baby is welcomed properly to the whole family for the first time, absolutely clueless yet crowns the occasion, cheers David

When you look at third world countries you come to realise how lucky you are and should be ever thankful. Good luck in the contest David. Tom

I agree Tom, yet sometimes we do just take everything for granted, in my mother's early years they literally lived on porridge morning, noon, and night, cheers David
