Thanks Giving Wishes

Oh, give me these cinnamon-scented days
with their slanted fall of golden light
with ginger-crisp leaves drifting down.
Grant me these velvet starry nights
while I nest and pull high the comforter.

Pile on the gravy and the dressing
Pass me the sweet and the mashed.
Pies of pumpkin, apple and pecan
Oh my! Pile my plate full and high.

These Thanks Giving days
give me pause to think of you--
my spicy friends of all the seasons
we spiral dancers of moon and sun.

For you who nourish all my days
I whisper words of gratitude
Especially now, as I feel so fully
filled with home-cooked love.
