Our Thanksgiving ~ a poem

 ~ OUR THANKSGIVING  ~ 

All the name tags have been placed,

The candles have been lit.

They all came with food and wine,

They know just where to sit.

Some traveled such a long way,

Some just around the block.

They laughed, they joked, they nibbled…

Dinner’s set for six o’clock.

The game is on the T.V.,

Introductions have been made,

The children have been hugged and kissed,

All compliments were paid.

This day, is very special,

The planning took some time.

Our hearts are light and filled with love,

This family…yours and mine.

Great happiness and cheers to all,

On this day of counting blessings;

We’ll kiss the cook

And have some pie

And fill up on the dressing!

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.
