Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to gather ‘round the table

To count your blessings and thank God you are able

To be here with family and all you hold dear

Momma we miss you, it’s that time of year

We think of you often and the way that you left

And how you loved us with every breath

We know you are well in your robe of white

But what would I give to see you tonight

To see you at the stove frying sweet potatoes

Or icing a cake you so lovingly made us

Calling on someone to help lift the turkey

With so much food you could never go hungry

Virginia is making her potato casserole

And Louise, of course, has her pumpkin rolls

Ann fixed up the carport so we could all fit

Bud will surely bring his prized bean dip

Pat will bring food and all the Cochran kin

I hope Rhonda and Donnie can make it in

Vickie is working but we’ll save her a place

Ricky will be here with a smile on his face

I will be here with the rest of the crowd

With the grands and great-grands it’s gonna get loud

We love and think of you with every dish

We are all here together just as you wish

Love you, Momma!
