But I wrote this today and I'm sure if I don't post it now, I will forget to post it next week.

Thanksgiving day, a wonderful day
for all my friends in the U.S.A.
and Canada too, if I am right,
a day with turkeys full of delight.

A day to thank that harvest is done
and that the Winter has begun
to show its face, here and there,
a day with lots of love to share.

I never had a Thanksgiving day,
it's not in use here, where I stay,
So all the turkeys in my land,
are quite alive and still expand.






Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Happy Harvest time to you, Titia. May your winter be mild.
Many Americans look like a stuffed turkey after these food-filled holidays!

Oh, this is lovely, dear Titia. And I am ever so happy that in the Netherlands the turkeys are safe!! Especially after reading Sewasham's poem!

Love,
Margherita

Titia,
I love that last part about the turkeys, you're so funny! I thought most countries had some version of a Thanksgiving Day, but I guess not. Well this Thanksgiving I am thankful for YOU and all my mom's friends at pip. Love, Tracie
