From One Turkey to Another

Thanksgiving is all about sharing...

...

To family and friends from all walks of life...

I hope you're all able to endure the strife...

Find time for loved ones, time to reflect...

Time free of burden, time you direct...

Choose your course wisely, keep it on track...

Ignore negatives, cut them no slack...

There's reasons we're thankful...

...We've somehow been blessed...

Yet sometimes we question...

......................if it is a test?

We know life results, from what we put in it...

A merry-go-ride, so hop on, let's spin it...

Hang on and smile, as you go 'round...

Close your eyes, listen...and don't make a sound...

The quiet of peace can come when we wish...

or just make some noise, while passing a dish...

Some have a routine, others no plan....

Some are alone, and needing a hand....

Let's do what we can for reasons unsaid...

to improve our world by joy that we spread....

Smile at a stranger, wish them good cheer...

Strive to stay hopeful of upcoming years...

Reflections of sunlight bouncing off pond...

Happy Thanksgiving to all and beyond...

...

...and from one turkey to another,

don't gobble too much....

Thank you for this feed back. I know Thanksgiving is just a USA holiday, but people all over the world have something to be thankful for... Your Summer is just about here?

I spent this holiday alone. But that's okay with me; there are many more holidays ahead. Great rhyming here, P.Rod. Your big heart is one to be admired. :)

Wow! Thank you so much... May any reason to celebrate be a good one for you...
