A week before that special day <br />We start to clean our home <br />We try to make it sparkle <br />Where friends and relatives roam <br /> <br />The shopping for Mr. Turkey <br />Is done with love and care <br />Along with all the extras <br />That make that day so rare <br /> <br />Then comes all the cookin’ <br />The smells just fill the air <br />But more than that we notice <br />How the love is everywhere. <br /> <br />With family ‘round the table <br />As dear ones gather near <br />It’s that Love that matters most of all <br />The sweetness brings a tear!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-smells-and-love-of-thanksgiving/
