For Writer’s Island prompt #31 2010
THANKSGIVING
Although not American
On this day, especially
I have reason to recall
And reasons to be grateful
Funny how you remember…
(Some things, you just don’t forget)
Must be fifteen years ago
… Seems like only yesterday
You didn’t ask me for it
But I knew you wanted it
You didn’t even say it
But it was clear you meant it
Just an item of clothing
But you folded it, neatly
Tucked it into bed with you
Probably dreamt about it
It was such a privilege
I’m eternally grateful
For having witnessed such an
Expression of gratitude
What a beautiful thought - from the giver as well a the recipient. I'm so glad you're back among us.
