Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday in the U.S. For the most part, it has escaped the commercialization of the other holidays. We gather, share a feast, and give thanks. What’s not to like? It’s been a tenuous year in our country and abroad, but tomorrow, let’s just forget about it and enjoy the day. All the best to you and yours.
A Poem for Thanksgiving 2017
Come in and have a seat at the table
Ye pilgrims of life
Leave the troubles of the world and your worries
At the door like soiled shoes
Greet your people
Inhale the aromas and
Marvel at the glory of a feast
Prepared by loving hands
Before we raise our forks
Let us pause, join hands and have gratitude
Celebrating all that we have
And all that is possible
For we are still here
Friends and family at the table
Together
