"Harvest of Thanks: A Grateful Ode to Dad"

"Nurturing Love"

By Serena SmiklePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the heart of autumn's amber glow,

A thankful spirit begins to grow.

Around the table, warmth and cheer,

Dad's presence, a reason to hold near.

Through seasons changing, strong and true,

His love, a beacon, like a morning dew.

A carving knife in hand, a smile on his face,

Dad's grace weaves blessings, an artful embrace.

In the kitchen's dance, with laughter and chatter,

His hands create a feast that truly matters.

Turkey golden, stuffing warm,

Dad's culinary magic is a heartfelt charm.

With gratitude, we gather 'round,

In his love, strength, and joy abound.

Thanksgiving whispers in the autumn air,

Dad, the reason for our thankful prayer.

So here's to you, our guiding light,

On this Thanksgiving night.

For the moments shared, the love we've had,

A grateful heart for you, dear Dad.
