    Thanksgiving 2009     November 24, 2009

     

    hands performing grace

    love formed of simple act

    warmth radiates heart to heart

    comfort flows from shared thoughts

    family remembers other gatherings

    laughter follows tears

    sadness eases into soft smiles

    toddler sits in great uncle’s emptied chair

    child unaware he fulfills journey’s cycle

    eight decades laid to well earned rest

    eighteen months begins succession

     

    wistful sigh breaks pensive moment

    hungry hearts drift to laden table

    elder thanks all drawn to meal

    blessings offered for food

    human and divine

    and

    for this world

    sustenance for all

    great uncles, toddlers, and all in between

    enough food for each 

    for with a nourished body

    tis easier to bring peace

    ​
