Friends and family gather
warm embraces joyfully exchanged,
as the aroma of toasted spices fill the senses
in symphony of candlelight glow.
Traditions continue
with each passing year ~
a beckoning light of homecoming for the soul.
Laughter - silent perception -
heartfelt gratitude,
inexpressible.
Nourishment of comfort gathered arm in arm
around this Thanksgiving table of feast
replenishes sensations nearly forgotten -
though just a moment in fleeting. . .once again reunited
within the very depths of the being.
To everything that has been bestowed upon
my soul from before time-
I give thanks.
In this haven, time stands still
while contentment and love
exist.

Pumpkins make great Thanksgiving decorations. Let small children make turkeys out of a pumpkin by gluing large feathers on it for the tail, and making a face and head with construction paper and gluing onto the pumpkin.
