Thanksgiving Together

An ode to Thanksgiving

Oh how I have awaited this Thanksgiving day.

My family comes together with so much love to give away.

Get the dinner table set with the sweets, turkeys and ham.

Turn the music up to dance it off and we’re ready to jam.

Try not to snatch the wrong dinner plate.

If you do the risk of losing your hands is a potential fate.

You know these Thanksgiving dinners drive the family crazy.

Eat until you’re ready pop. The next day you’ll be lazy.

A holiday melting pot I’m glad we’re in this together.

Nothing like the beauty of spending Thanksgiving together.
