Candy coated apples and
Pumpkins on the prowl.
Russet covered landscapes and
Coyotes, how they howl.
Dark Moon cold of evenings and
Day’s enfolding heat,
Hot cider for the cousins and
Oatmeal cookies fresh to eat.
Cinnamon does spice the air and
Sage a seasoning makes.
There’s many things to finish and
Mom bakes and bakes and bakes.
Apple sauce and pumpkin pie and
Roast turkey for the taking,
In her wise and ageless way,
A holiday Mom’s making.
In our very troubled times and
In our times of need,
It’s fruitful to remember this and
These wise words to heed.
It never can be said enough and
At the top this ranks.
When everything seems dark and dim,
Give thanks, give thanks, give thanks.
