Thanksgiving 2020  

2020 Thanksgiving — like no other!

No big family gatherings

with sister or brother.

Just you & me across the table:

avoiding crowds,

our private “stable.”

We miss our family

while staying strong; no hugs or kisses

or Black Friday throng.

On Thanksgivings past

we ate together: blending families —

a full cast!

Sure is different in 2020;

eating alone amidst

food aplenty.

Celebrating Life, despite the times.

On this hopeful note,

I close my rhyme.

 

 

I am grateful for:
