thankful giving

we’ve spent days
in preparation
now awaiting
turkey’s roasting
and so many many
side dishes
potatoes
yams
carrots
peas
beans
& squash
stuffing
rice
cranberry sauce
bring on the gravy
tummies will be too full
and yet
pies
still await

wait
wait
a moment
before our feast
this
a day of thanks
a day of joy
for those who gather
round this table
it isn’t in the food prepared
it’s the warmth
and love
we share

wait
wait
a moment
before our feast
time for
blessings from the heart
to all  you know
and those in need
reach out
with an act
of kindness
an act
of goodness
an
unexpected
deed

wait
wait
a moment
before the feast
be thankful
be giving
let your soul bask in the joy
of thankful giving
