When I was a little girl <br />Thanksgiving was about <br />Getting together with family <br />Delightful smells of my mother’s <br />Freshly baked rolls, crispy Turkey <br />And spicy pumpkin pies. <br />When I became a wife and mother <br />My little girl watched and helped as I did those <br />Very same things and filled my own house <br />With the smells of Thanksgiving. <br />I enjoyed my little boy coming into the kitchen <br />Thanksgiving morning and saying <br />“Where’s the cookin’? ” <br />But now, as my family <br />Including my precious grandchildren <br />Gather for this festive day <br />I realize how important... <br />How valuable this time is <br />How lucky I am to spend this day <br />With the people I love. <br />I am truly thankful and blessed! <br /> <br />Happy Thanksgiving!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-thanksgiving/
