Thanksgiving Day

Turkey sitting on the table
Have some more if you are able
All the kids have run outside
Now it's time for that sled ride
Keep on sending praise above
So thankful for my family's love
Grateful for so many gifts
I'm full of joy,my spirit lifts
Voices scattered through the rooms
In harmony the singing booms
Now everyone joins in the song
Gramps at piano plays along
Delighted children come in from play
As the family bows their heads to pray
Yet one more awesome Turkey Day!

Reads like a winner to me..When I saw the title, I thought it would be nice to have some turkey and dressing today for lunch but the poem was so impressive about the being thankful..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..On my poem about the "Sweet Gum Tree", they produce seed pods that are round.. These pods drop off in the fall and winter..If a person steps on one, one foot goes one way while the other foot goes another..Banana Split..Can be very painful fall therefore the danger..Sara
