Thanksgiving Day
Something about Thanksgiving
That makes living worthwhile
With gratefulness for home and family:
To see women bustling
And cooking in the kitchen
While children outside are playing;
Suckles the palate and warms the heart
And makes me happy.
With the gobbler in the oven
And pumpkin pies chilling
The aroma is delicious.
“Stay out of the way!” they say.
There are moments in life
To become invisible
And join the men in the living room
Discussing and watching television.
The sound of the table setting
Anticipating, waiting, and then,
“Dinner’s ready!”
Something about turkey
That makes me sleepy
After so grandeur a meal
As I wonder and contemplate;
“Without God in our lives,
Where would we be?”
