The soul has much to say
A Carolina Thanksgiving...
Family
tradition
simmering
on the stove
Warm
household
decorated
with memories
Laughter
adds light
to a place
lit with love
Roll call
of my
favorite
addictions
Turkey
greens
stuffing
cranberries
olives
biscuits
3 cheese macaroni
to name a few
4 generations
of those
I call
Queen
hustle
about
in the
kitchen
My brothers
and I
carefully set
the table
Pop
prepares
to carve
perfection
Football's
on
I hardly
notice
Ma and her
headphones
Christmas music
no doubt
48 degree day
in God's country
North Carolina
is special
Soon
we gather
for my
favorite moment
Holding hands
as a family
Heads bowed
in reverence
God
has been
so good
to us
We
take turns
praying for
loved ones
who
couldn't
be here
and for those
who've
crossed
our paths
over the years
My voice
of intercession
begins in
silence
Slowly
I pour forth
words of hope
and praise
As we
say "Amen"
I realize
my blessing
of simply...belonging
