A THANKGSGIVING POEM by Roger Ach

A THANKSGIVING POEM


Thanksgiving’s my favorite day of the Year,

With family and friends from both far and from near.

It’s a day for reflection, for cooking and actions,

To simply be thankful with no fancy distractions.

No shopping, no presents, no shipping and wrapping,

No gift lists and gift-angst and short tempers snapping.

Just turkey and gravy, cranberries and pies,

And plates piled so high, stomachs smaller than eyes !

Thanksgiving’s a symphony of tastes, smells and hugs,

And the next day’s removal of crumbs from the rugs.

My Thanksgiving Day bowl is wonderfully bountiful,

I count my family and friends, for which I’m most thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all !

Roger
