Thanksgiving Day

How was your year, folks out there
Feel thankful for what life bestows?
At dinner time say a prayer
For days of poetry and prose

Yam, turkey, cranberry and salad
Potatoes, cornbread, apple cake
The banquet worthy of a ballad
The smell of home, bread freshly baked

Three generations at the table
Enjoy great time and tasty meal
Thanksgiving Day of roundtable
Puts everything on even keel

Be grateful for the life you're living
Your health, your family and friends
What one receives and one is giving
This special day it all make sense
