Thanksgiving Feasting
When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.
Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind--
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!
The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!
First the napkins are placed on our laps;
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!

More Than A Day
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Thanksgiving. I wish we had it here in Australia. We all have something we can be grateful for - be it big or a small thing.... family, home, the warmth of a spring day, the sunrise, food on the table, going for a walk in nature. Happy thanksgiving. Enjoy this time with those you love. Stay safe, and thankyou again for the linkup.
ReplyDeletePeabea, your autumn photo is stunning! I rarely take photos of anything but food, so I doubt I'd capture the autumn glow as you have. Thanksgiving? Should, as the poem said, last more than a day. I count my blessings every day!
