Thanksgiving Memories Chocolate gravy with home-made biscuits began our holiday We worshipped at the altar of her oven’s preparation Incense of the wafted off’rings on Thanksgiving Day Supernal encounters conjure divine inspiration As to Elysian Fields of cuisine we’d delightfully flee Roasted turkey, bathed in butter, spices such sweet scents, Aromas carried on the breezes of gentle destiny For her children’s vivid memories of holiday events Stuffing, potatoes, and candied yams abound Green beans and all the trimmings piled high on ev’ry plate Dinner rolls of yeast aplenty for all congregants around The feast of thanks for giving thanks as we await The debut of banana pudding just like Grandma made Vanilla, not banana, no graham crackers please Vanilla wafers, o’er ripened ‘nanners laid Across the top with care and cautious ease After feasting, not just eating, we’d feel warm as Mother’s house Always laughing, not realizing, that simply simple things Were the bond that future memories would arouse Of holidays and pleasantries that only adoration brings. |

Well, my friend, quite a lovely Thanksgiving memory...a feast for my eyes! I dare not read this one to my family after being subjected to my meager Turkey Day offering. LOL But at least I didn't burn anything...I take that back...I did burn my hand. Hope you are having a wonderful day! Patricia |
