 Our Thanksgiving table, adorned with much spread Turkey and dressing, cranberries, and bread But there is much more-- than meets the eye More than plum puddings, cakes, and pie Much love abounds- in this old piece of timber That we gather around, every November Sharing with families, that we are part of Laughter and joy, and hearts swelled with love The aromas--they are most appetizing And the mouth watering scents, are so tantalizing And we'll pass the food plates, as we pass on tradition Feeding our hearts with love, and our spirits nutrition A harvest of happiness that with our family grows Building bonds at the table, as candle light glows With aunt, uncle, cousins-- sister, and brother Grandma, grandpa--- father and mother And though the autumn day, is bleak and dreary Our Thanksgiving table, is festive and cheery For Thanksgiving to us is more than just-- turkey and warm buttered rolls Its time spent together and food for our souls.
