giving thanks

I thank you dear friends
for sharing in my life
the dark hours, the challenges
the struggles and the strife
the good times, the laughter
the love and the cheer
through all and all
I'm blessed you are near.

Happiest Thanksgiving to my dear friends in blogland!

a prayer of thanksgiving

for leaves of yellow and scarlet
for goldenrod's bright array

for crisp November breezes
and frisky squirrels at play

for misted mornings and velvet nights
for glowing harvest moon

for crickets tuneful chirping
on a sunny afternoon

for families gathered together
for marigolds in a bouquet
for bounty from earth to share

this blessed holiday

we're thankful
