Thanksgiving Fare

I love the smell of roasting turkey,
Thanksgiving day with family.
Children's excited voices
Fighting over white meat.
Smell the pumpkin pie!
Smells, sights and sounds
Surrounding
Us all.
Joy!

Hope!
For all
That this day,
Thanksgiving Day,
Is one of many
To be enjoyed by all.
Excited voices now still.
Everyone now full and relaxed.
I love the smell of roasting turkey.
