Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Thanksgiving Night

We ate the turkey and the sides,
We watched the big parade,
Conversed with all the grown-ups
And with grandkids laughed and played.

A typical Thanksgiving
But quite special nonetheless
And as a guest, I didn’t cook
Or clean up all the mess!

Of all the holidays, this one
Unites both kith and kin,
Reminding us of where we are
In life, and where we’ve been.

Connie Marcum Wong November 25, 2016 at 4:37 AM It's lovely to try to get together with family to share Thanksgiving together. I have fond memories of past thanksgivings with relatives that have now passed on. Only as cousins are left. Lovely! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I took my granddaughter to the park to play after we ate and we also walked together. We both enjoyed it very much. Contd.
