The Recipe ( answer to Katy's challenge)

Thanksgiving Day is here
The smell of turkey in the air
We will sit down to the meal
And we’ll give thanks and show we care

The food is on the table
More than this crowd can consume
The family’s here together
Joy and laughter fills the room

The recipes all made from love
Before us here to eat
And once we have all stuffed ourselves
We’ll find room for that special treat

But the special guest that’s here
Is what completes this recipe
We’ve asked him here to thank him
For things he’s given us you see

What a better world we’d live in
If this recipe were used world wide
And better yet used everyday
And not just one day set aside.

Jack Roberts – November 25, 2002
