Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
All sunny warmth is passing away
Giving way to frost and cold
And you can breathe and see it in the air
And you are restless
And excited
Know that you shall soon see
Those who you have missed
And longed to see
And you can catch leaves of many colors
And stare at a gray sky till it makes you dizzy
You walk to the closet and pull out
The clothes
That you will need
For the cold
And you sit indoors from the cold
Longing for warm air
And summer days
But you are still anticipating
What others call “turkey day”
But you call it thanksgiving
And when the day comes
You are so excited you can hardly stand it
And around the table
There is not only food
But also love.
