PUMPKIN PIE AND PUMPKIN BREAD
A dreary day
Clouds over head
Rain trying to sneak in
Sun gone a stray
Sitting in my room
Watching an old movie
Wishing for something
Day filled with gloom.
Hunger drew me up
And out of my space
Went out to the kitchen
to refill my cup.
When all of a sudden
To my eyes did appear
A baking in progress
And I smiled a big grin.
Mixing and baking
And smells filled the air
My daughter was busy
And I wanted to sing.
Pumpkin pie
And pumpkin bread
Made my mouth water
I swear that’s no lie.
Reminded me of a time
When my health was better
I stood in my kitchen
Singing in rhyme.
My family was here
It was Thanksgiving day
A time filled with love
Good times and no tears.
