all about the nation
turkeys being readied
ingredients and fixin’s are
prepared
for this Big Turkey Day

plans in place for who’s
going where
who’s bringing what
the logistics
the TV is warmed up and ready

suddenly it’s here
laughter driving chair-scraping
draping aprons and tablecloths
children running
then the big sit-down

for me a frozen turkey entree
includes dressing and such
just pop it in the micro
happy . . . thankful . . . grateful
for all

all that I’ve been given
all that’s been taken away
all that I have left

"all that i have left"...
yes... life can be economical...taking but giving...freeing but filling
We usually have just enough, or should appreciate as if we do.

Thank you, windnsea, for this poem. It's all that I have left as well, and so we feast on words, and the curious things that drive us, which is so much more...
