Thanking and giving
Dancing and singing
I love the feast,
The warm mashed potatoes,
The bread filled with yeast
And made with all doughs
The smell of pumpkin fills the air
As kids sit in a circle and take turns with dares
We sit at a table filled with warm treats
And a delicious feast
We talk and laugh,
Taking our time
Family together,
Loving each other forever
Memories are sweet and unique
They help us understand all we seek
But memories don’t define us
We should never make a fuss
Chances are earned
Useless memories are burned
But thanksgiving reminds us
Of all that we are grateful for
To remember those who fought in the war
Afraid of doing less and instead doing more
I am grateful for my happiness and I stand for those who have less
i love this poem!! it’s making me want to write a Thanksgiving poem too, even though Thanksgiving is over lol
Thanks!
