Thanksgiving 2021

Let me speak of Thanksgivings Day 2021 It was incredibly easy, full of holiday fun The children were excited, the turkey was hot. We laughed ourselves silly over jokes no others got. There were nine grandchildren, loving me with hugs. A loony uncle went around, looking in corners for bugs. He thinks the FBI is watching, and big brother too. He only gets to come here once a year, a real coop. We put aside our politics, and no one brought up beliefs. Concentrated on pumpkin pie and cranberry a big relief. Unified in a prayer, we put our contrary views aside. Grandpa snuck in a nap in our large armchair made of rawhide. We hugged each other good bye as if we’d never see them again. I gave an extra big hug to my best friend, who is my identical twin. You never know at our age what the coming days will yonder bring. It was such a pleasant day, my heart felt good enough to sing.
