What is Thanksgiving?

A holiday?

A feast?

The Mayflower

The Pilgrims and Indians?

It is a welcome for all 

It is a time for prayer and faith

It is a time for all to help and share

It is time to be thankful 

Gather around in this warm parade

Family and Freinds let us share this table and dinner

May we bless the coming year and value for what we have

And pray that the memories from today will help us find our way.

Why I love Thanksgiving.

Each year on Thanksgiving Day 

There is always food

And a cherry mood

Family and Freinds come along

And dance in the gentle song

Hear the wind and autumn leaves

The crunch and snap in the soon winter breeze

Food begins and prayer starts

Turkey and gravy

Ham with corn 

Pumpkin Pie and Coffe with Cream 

Fill the table with oncoming warmth.

After the fill of plenty begins the talk

Of blessing, hope, and faith

Just before the chime of eight

All leave saying goodbye

And then waiting for next year with an eager vibe.
