Come Together
The week before Thanksgiving
Our turkey; fat and bought
Our money now slim pickings
A cold, I have caught.
Bunny balls removed under bed
Windows sparkling and clean
New bedsheets washed and dried
Guest bedroom ready for a queen.
Silverware is polished
Good china setting out
Dinner candles are burning
Guests roaming about.
Family and friends
Hold hands, bowed in place
Soft words are spoken
We each speak and give grace.
Compliments are flying
Plates filled to the rim
Catching up on the gossip
Sharing memories of when.
The day went to quick
All are snuggled in bed
My mind starts to swirl
As I think of Christmas ahead.
