Thanksgiving Day

Around the grown up table bowed in prayer Familiar faces etched upon my mind Back then, I never thought the love we shared Would be so rare, to be one of a kind How blessed we were in fam'ly fellowship When kids would play outside 'til called to eat We held our backyard football championship While moms and aunts swapped recipes for sweets And then we'd form a circle holding hands Each one would say what they were thankful for As faces disappear I understand The love we shared will last forevermore Thanksgiving Day we'll gather once again I'll say I'm thankful for my time with them
