Family Thanksgiving Thoughts

May your family and friends make your day merry and bright.

Forty-seven food items on the table, that’s about right.

Turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry jelly and pumpkin pie

I’m going to have my fill and that’s no lie.

Cooking, stirring and basting with care

The kitchen is buzzing with activity there.

Football will be coming on soon

That will all start just before noon.

Hug your family and spread the love

May your feelings be light and free as a dove.

From our house to yours thoughts of joy

Next comes Santa with things for every girl and boy.

A happy Thanksgiving to all,

Jerald L. Hemphill
