Thanks for Thanksgiving!
Thank you for the memories
of mushroom and oyster dressing,
of pumpkin pie covered
with Grandma’s homemade whipped cream.

Thanks for Thanksgiving!
Thank you, O Lord,
for the Thanksgiving prayers Grandpa said
before we begin our feast of turkey
stuffed with sage seasoned cornbread.

Thanks for Thanksgiving!
Thank you for the potatoes,
corn, green beans, and tomatoes
grown in Grandpa’s garden,
which completed our feast.
