As we celebrate Thanksgiving
I am grateful to be living
Waking up is a reminder
That I am still existing
I’m grateful for the poets
And the writers I’ve met here
For all my many followers
Who enjoy my poetry here
I’m just an elder poet
Who shares my words with you
I can’t describe the feelings
And the joy I get from you
So on this day of giving thanks
I give my thanks to you
May your lives be filled with blessings
Like those I’ve received from you
Happy Thanksgiving Blessings from myself,
my wife Susan, our horses Teaka and Flash
and our 10 rescue dogs, Meggie, Finnegan,
Holly, Jesse, Isabelle, Bella, Bluebell,
Mimi, Jenny and Jill.

It was good to hear your voice Walt. I am guessing you are not originally from Tennessee as I detected no southern drawl. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving full of love, food and gratitude!

Thank you Leigha 😊 I was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, spent 6 years in New York City, USAF in San Antonio, TX , California and North Dakota. After being discharged, I went back to the Adirondacks for 15 years, then to FL for 15 years, and now in TN for 14 years so far. I did have a nice Thanksgiving. I hope you and your father did also. 😊💛

You have been all over! Our Thanksgiving was quiet but very nice… we dodged a big snow system that went south of us!
