Turkey Dinner

                                                                  

 

 

A few days before this recent Thanksgiving,

I received a smoked turkey from a close old friend,

Which I intended to serve myself.

When I asked my cleaning lady of twenty-five years

What her plans were, for the holiday,

She told me she'd invited thirty of her church "family,"

Who'd otherwise not have a dinner, to her house.

 

Long ago, I discovered that the best gifts I can bestow,

On those I love, are ones that spring spontaneously,

Say, "You mean more to me than I do to myself."

And so it was, on Thursday evening,

Though I was home alone,

That I enjoyed the best Thanksgiving ever:

A peanut-butter sandwich and turkey-noodle soup.
