The Door To Thanksgiving
The door to Thanksgiving leads
to hope that the world will be well fed,
to appreciation for the family members we love
to excitement that we will be seeing our cousins
to memories of other Thanksgivings and people who are gone now.
The door to Thanksgiving leads to land of love and appreciation
A valley where sweet potatoes gladly lay down their lives
And are sprinkled generously
with butter and brown sugar
topped with marshmallows
like grandma used to make
The door to Thanksgiving leads
to the belief there will be future Thanksgivings
to the memory of the laughter of our babies when they were toddlers
to a long wonderful afternoon nap, where we are carefree
Thrilled that we once again were able to open the door to Thanksgiving
