Saviors of Thanksgiving

Autumn's almost over,

no thanksgiving for me

swallow your saliva

ignore the ads on your PC.

I want to eat a burger

why am I googling recipes?

sweet cinnamon tea

seaweed rice soup

You made everything okay, kamsahamnida (Thank you)

I know this cup of suffering

will eventually pass and fade

but I won't forget your comfort

for the rest of my days

It's the little things that matter

we don't have to have a lot

yet we feel unfulfilled

more often than not.

A little bit of flavor

is what saves the soul,

the taste of love,

the scent of a rose

This important lesson

I'll remember it well

and in the future

bust it out for show and tell,

spice gives life.
