Thanksgiving

Another year another blessing

family gatherings, celebrations of those present and absent, 

time to catch up,  to hear stories,  young adults, remembering, 

I am, hospital visits at your births, now you stand before me, tower above me, 

bright eyed sharing your new world opportunities, 

 awe and amazement fills me I see who you have become 

are becoming, your hugs fill my body soul

hope for a new world, life being born again

and again,  soon I fly across the world to create, live, write 

stories,  I fly with the words, the arms, the eyes of support, 

shared today,  surprised blessed by your thanksgiving offerings, 

I travel on.
