Thanksgiving
Comfort-warmth
embrace our home with family-show
Love-filled neat
and tidy in blessed Thanksgiving-glow
Roasted turkey
perfect-browned honored-guest delights
Feast
table-spread delectable to celebrate culinary sights
Snow-surprise
for the kids, and, me, last eve’s enchantment-gift
Break out the
sleds and saucers for fun our free-sacred spirits lift
Yon slope behind
the house slick-slides to distant creek
Mantle-white
alive as urchins, and, me, adventure seek
Shy-pale sun orb
bashful behind grey-yonder flying scudder-clouds
Myriad bright
ski-suits, coats and scarfs sparkle snow-scape proud
Waves from wild
tots to adults at the windows safe-warm watching
Youngster-display
show their stuff like snowball flights a-catching
Crackling-warm
the cedar log flames like mock fireworks in winter
Momma skittering
subtle-around so as not to be the attention-center
And, Papa all aglow
with a captive audience with such far-fetched tales
Embellishments
upon imagination-dreamed where suffered-Truth
pales
Call-in the snow
worshippers with a toll of the yard antique dinner-bell
A mountain of
soaked clothes abandoned by red cheeks and noses, swell
Gather ’round
sumptuous dinner table for fine feast of the holiday year
Nanny babied Z.
Tyler with a turkey leg as wild spectators loudly cheer
Bapa asked the
little girls to say “Grace” before their food, they get
Quick-witted
Annie Rie looked up with “Gee! Is she
even here, yet?”
Sister Lauren
elbowed sibling’s irreverence as Lexi shook her curly head
Mommy drew a
breath “Oh! My!” as Nanny and Bapa laughed, instead
Bapa saved the
day as “fun and games” of laughter he did most especially like
“I don’t know
about “Grace” or even, thunder, but lightning’s about to strike!”
And, with that
un-ceremonious fiat---Let the games
begin!
Thanksgiving-time forgive
any unintended transgression-sin
Amen!
