Thanksgiving nearing
Think I’m tearing
When dreams are crushed
Looking through the table at us.
Empty chairs
Everywhere
No eyes to see
Smiles are empty.
Bitter talk
Have seen the walk
Protected shield
Destroyed the will.
This is not the way
To spend Thanksgiving day
Hope the hearts can mend
So we can be seated again.
Written by my feelings,
Terry Shepherd
