Thanksgiving

I cherish the memories
Of my childhood Thanksgivings
Going to Gramma’s for a feast
A huge 23 pound fresh turkey
I had white and dark meat
Homemade stuffing
Twas the best I ever had
And there was
The turkey mushroom gravy
So sublime
Then we had mashed yams
With marshmallows on top melted
Homemade cranberry sauce
And macaroni salad pleased us all
Next came green beans with almonds
Mashed potatoes that were heavenly
For dessert we had minced pie
And pumpkin pie with whipped cream
I’ll never forget those Thanksgivings
From so long ago
My Gramma showed her love
Through food
