Cute Chatty; I don't think about what I'm eating or I'd never eat.

Thanksgiving Food for Thought

These have been hard years, I surely must say,
Yet we've had fun, as we've gone on our way.

I've many, many reasons to give the Lord thanks,
Though at times I'm stressed, and more than a bit angst.

Still, I'm able to cheer, pray, and shout,
Thank God for His love, for His love I've no doubt.

Jesus rules the universe, I know it's so,
'Tis reason enough, to keep the faith and stay whole.

Hence, in between sadness and groans,
I know in my heart, Father's still on His Throne!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!

I know some of us don't all believe the same. So if that's too
religious, I'll see if I can come up with something else.

Counting Blessings

I'm thankful I was born,
At just the right time,
Blessed with a wonderful family,
And friendships, awesome'n fine.

I'm thankful I grew up,
On a hillside farm, in the sticks.
Where I was taught, love,
Is how one responds, to mean, dirty tricks.

Gratitude extends to boomer women and the Net,
That much I know, on that I'd surely bet,
Am thankful for associations afforded via the web,
They've lightened my spirit and cleared my head.

When all is said, when all is done,
I'm grateful for each and every one.

Who here can say they don't enjoy the holidays,
I doubt more than a couple say bah-humbug, going their separate ways.

When familes and friends gather around and laughter rings out,
we all eat much too much, our bellies looking full and stout.

But lets not forget those with less than they need,
be sure to help someone, give what you can indeed.

The best part of giving is to know that you may,
have put smiles on faces and brighten someones day.

So this Thanksgiving and Christmas when all around you is swell,
Look upward towards heaven; praise Jesus, and thank Him as well...

Good one chatty. I do know people who don't like the holidays and I think it's so sad. It usually has to do with bad memories.

If you make 'em angry, you're not alone. I've said some things
that even bummed me out! Ever notice how many edits I do. That's
because I rethink stuff and when it hits me wrong, I come back
in and change it. I'm always second guessing myself!

To all my fellow rhymers.
and even the first timers.

I want to wish you all peace and joy,
my family will be feasting on a turkey named Roy.

I keep telling them all to never name your dinner,
makes eating them impossible but it keeps us thinner.

I prefer eating something whose name is not known,
something that has not been home grown.

But for the holiday tomorrow, my appetite is quite sharp,
I'll bow my head while eating Roy, and picture him playing a harp.

I try hard to remain a strict vegan and eat no meat,
but gotta tell you that tofurkey tastes just like feet.

soooo

HAPPY THANKSGIVING my friends and EAT HEARTY,
I wish with all my heart you could be at my party.

Haha Anne...that made me laugh out loud.
Dear Jabber, Chatty, Anne and all the rest of the poets here!

I raise my glass and toast to you,
My fellow poets, old and new!

Hope this day fills your hearts with cheer,
And your bellies with wine, instead of beer.

I’ll be thinking of you all, and want you to know,
The finest harvests are friendships we reap and sow.
