Thanksgiving Day poem: "This Day of Gratitude"

 

This Day of Gratitude

 

The beech tree in our front yard

seems to have turned yellow

overnight, and in a few short days

will shed its joyous splendor,

and even our oak trees seem less

stubborn this year, turning golden

faster than usual, but they take  

longer to shed, even hanging

on till the November snow, and

our tired old maple trees are gently

turning myriad shades of crimson

while my sweet Penny Lynn,

safe and whole from yet another

medical adventure, is happily

in her kitchen getting the turkey

ready for Thanksgiving dinner

which we’ll be sharing with our

good friend and neighbor, making

this day of gratitude in beautiful

Georgian Bay the best ever,
