Thanksgiving day moves me

My favorite of all the working days off

Emotions held back but so very deeply felt

As I go through the day, so thankful I am

For a new home in the country

Hard work has made it truly mine

For the ability to work

And a me of whom I am proud

For my three grown children

Who walk through my door

They laugh and tease and eat and share

And then they eat some more

For my granddaughter’s joy

And my grandson Baron so dear

And two, yes two

New grand boys who will come

For my very dear friends and family

Both human and creature

Hay in the barn and grain in the bin

A turkey in the oven and 'taters in the pot

 So with a bounteous table

In this quiet country home

I am ever so grateful for this life that I have made

And for this day to reflect and give thanks
