The ultimate feast! Turkey, dressing, pies, memories.Laughter carries over squabbles and fleeting tears.Game time, go! Heightened adrenaline; increased appetites. Oh, the parade! Marching bands, floats and giant balloons.Stuff the turkey, stuff your tummies! Eat up, eat more!Thanksgiving joys shared with beloved family and friends.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, I have placed you in my hallWhere I wander every day.Echo beauty, and you’ll stay.

Thanksgiving: A day to pray and humbly say “I thank thee, God. Life is okay.

Silly little monster” all would say.They’d scratch its head and turn awayuntil it snatched their tiny noses.They couldn’t even smell the roses!Ever after, every childdreaded monsters, fierce or mild.

My sonwho dares to try,with boldness takes a standagainst fear, odds, and opponentsand wins.

The horses have stoppedtheir clippity-clop,but feet are too slowfor where I must go.So here I shall stayuntil light of daywhen clippity-clopgets my team underway.

From the dawn of dayuntil the crimson sun sets,I humbly give thanks.

The moon is my fear.The sun is my heart afire.The stars, my love songs.

Don’t expect a smile if you’re not smiling.Don’t expect a hug if you fold your arms across your chest.Don’t expect a laugh if you’re not laughing. Don’t expect success if you fail to do your very best.Don’t expect to hear if you’re not listening.Don’t expect to learn if books pile up and you never read.Don’t expect a friend if you’re not friendly.Don’t expect relief if you turn your back on those in need.
