A time to give thanks
With family, friends and food
We are greatly blessed
Dressing, gravy, bread
I attempt to eat it all
Bloated, sleepy smile
Frosty yell practice
Texas A&M prevails
Good day for football
Fire made by my Dad
A couch dragged close to the flames
Full belly, warmth, bliss
Music, family
Children playing with kitties
Hope yours was special
Excellent creativity at work here, Steph.
My only question lies in whether "Fire" (st.6, ln.1) has one or two syllables. I suppose that if you were raised in central/southern Texas, it is one. Am I right?
