Thanksgiving Day/Dane Ann

The wind is quite blustery on our short walk to grandmaws
Hankering to have some chocolate pie and dressing
And see the new baby boy!
Never get to spend  much time with the family lately
Kiss 'em all and get a hug
Stress out over all the germs we shared
GOD grant us blessings all the days of our lives
IF the heartburn doesn't kill me tonight, praise Jesus
Value of family --priceless$$
If brother can hobble he will make it ok
Next year will be better
God grant brother a new hip by Christmas

Drop off some new teeth for granny
Ann, she needs to chew her food good
You're faithful and just to grant our needs!

A great idea for Dane's contest, an Acrostic, Doris. Sounds just like a typical family! Smile. Agape, Moses

A nice way to remember Thanksgiving. It left me with a comforting picture of togetherness at grandma's house. I enjoyed the read, good luck in the contest. Caryl

"Pricele$$" is a great way to describe this outstanding acrostic, Doris. Got some laughs reading it and the poem also brought back memories. Lord, please let granny get the teeth and brother his new hip!! Wowie, my friend, this is the best entry I've read for Dane Ann's contest and your talent will take you to the top. Crystal ball tells all! Love, Carolyn
