The Thanksgiving Table: A Poem of Gratitude
As autumn leaves begin to fall,
And the crisp air starts to call,
We gather 'round with hearts so full,
To share our thanks, our love, our all.
The table set with care and grace,
Reflects the joy upon each face,
From golden turkey to pumpkin pie,
The scents of home drift to the sky.
Grateful for the year behind,
For challenges that made us kind,
For laughter shared and tears we cried,
For the inner strength we cannot hide.
Let's toast to health, to joy, to light,
To every dawn and peaceful night,
For we are women, strong and bright,
Who face each day with all our might.
With friends and family by our side,
Through every season, every tide,
We celebrate the bonds that last,
And cherish moments, moving fast.
So raise a glass and lift your voice,
In gratitude, let's all rejoice,
For Thanksgiving’s spirit, warm and true,
And for the love that sees us through.
