Thanksgiving Day: A Holiday Feast
A cornucopia of fruits, nuts, and veggies
Turkey
More than anyone could possibly ask
Instead of a treat, becomes our demise
A cornucopia of fruits, nuts, and veggies
More than anyone could possibly ask
Instead of a treat, becomes our demise
***
Family and friends prepare favorite recipes
Bringing various homemade dishes to explore
Gluttons for punishment, a natural instinct
Lead us back for more and more
***
Thirst quenched and bellies stuffed to the gills
Rocking chair conversation not too deep
Is it the rocking motion or the turkey
That finally puts us all to sleep?
Thanksgiving: A Celebration of Gratitude
Thanksgiving: A Celebration of Gratitude
A cornucopia of thoughtfulness and gratitude,
Thanks from the heart, as well as the lips,
More blessings than anyone could ask
Comes with all the trimmings this day equips
***
Comes with all the trimmings this day equips
***
Family and friends unite in fellowship
Granting praise for all the gifts of the year
A candle is lit and with prayerful hands
The true meaning of Thanksgiving is clear
