Happy Thanksgiving! (4 of 4)

 Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Dressing! Cranberries! Potatoes and gravy! Turkey! Dessert! Love!

Faith! Family! Freedom! All warm-celebrated Blessings from above

 

Kinfolk close-gathered ’round comfort-feast festive dinner banquet

“Thank Thee! Lord!” Saints  & Angels attend Thy annual holy habit

 

Friends share emotion-passion season practice of Christian-generosity

Ushers-near Christ Jesus’ birthday Christmas merriment child-curiosity

 

Cedar-log fire explodes mock mini red rockets shooting up a fireplace flue

Christmas music traditional hymns evoke pleasant remembrances again anew

 

Little girls gather to whisper harbored deep secrets-of-boys to cousins-kin

Boys play tag! Neanderthal roughhouse! Being a true-kid is not some sin!

 

Cozy settled in to reflect on a proper Thanksgiving-prayer to offer-send

Oh! Heaven-Joy! Northern-chill Whisper-wind SNOW it blizzard-blends

 

“Nanny and Bapa would you tell us an old-time tail?” Youngsters ask.

“You bet! Darling children! While in ‘humble’ limelight we bask!”

 

Thanksgiving! Lord! We appreciate Thy Blessings and Thank Thee!

In Praise! Honor! & Glory! We humble reflect with our progeny!

 

Begins new day with pink-blush hint-of-dawn excitement-promise!

Arise climbing orange-orb stir calm wind to awaken rested earth!

Mid-morn respite in cool filigree-shade under ancient silver maple!

Nourishment-sustenance break with comfort-warm high noon sun!

Oh! Mid-afternoon ice-cream sweet-treat refreshment offering Cool!

Mom’s gourmet-Love dinner in purple-eve long-shadow growing!

Gathered Family on the front porch to verbal sum-tally the gone-day!

Midnight-canopy blue-white diamond-dazzle counting Unicorn-dreams!

Off over yonder horizon in Fantasy ushering a new-coming hint-dawn!

 

And---just one more thought…if I may? Bapa adds.a simple last word:

 

Let everyday be your holy-Thanksgiving and sacred-Christmas celebration!

Each of thee is exceedingly-blessed! Be Thankful in all prayer-deliberation!

Amen!

 

Softly tapers off their tale as hot embers glow inviting warm-red

All children to bed with satiated minds & spirits affectionately-fed

 

Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Lovely Lady Candice Leah & (simple-humble) me
