THANKSGIVINGA Poem by Barbara LynneTHANKSGIVING
How I love this time of year When families gather 'round The laughter and the chatter Is such a lovely sound
The smell of turkey roasting Fills the house with such delight Who will get the drumsticks? The siblings, they do fight
Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes Gravy and cranberries too There's apple pie and pumpkin pie And custard, there are a few
A glass of wine at each setting Apple juice for all the “little” ones A special plate filled to the top Of warm and tasty buns
With all the family seated They raise their glass to toast Not the cook or the helpers We are not the type to boast
We raise our glass to honor He who provided everything Our Lord our Savior Jesus Christ The one and only King
Psalm 100:4 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. © 2011 Barbara Lynne |
