The cleansed conscience of the one who did, through expressed sorrow or apologetics, becomes the silt within the mind... Of the one who hears the rhetorics. Played over and over, The test constantly posed, The physical doors remain ... forever closed.

After ten hours to sleep, Trying to escape the pain, I awake to no difference, than so very deeply sad we are apart. You're leaving Earth from far away, I can't reach you now, Unable to say, I loved you, friend, you were my Presence, and now I'm left, To find my own way. I didn't see it clearly til now, The way my mind and soul are So aching, How very much you meant to me, And with you, how much of me you will be taking. I'll remember you always and this says it best, You're the best person I ever met!!!!!

A prayer of thanks for everything God has given. He has blessed us in the way we've been livin'! Our country is blessed like no other. God has supplied our "bread and butter." He's given us the freedom, we've all enjoyed. Be thankful for your food, home and being employed. For those who've endured hardship... Thank God too! It's no secret how much he loves YOU! We find in the Bible... God clearly said; "I've never seen the righteous forsaken, Nor their children begging for bread." Thanks be to Jesus, for his love, mercy and grace. And for making my heart, "his special place." I am blessed and thankful to Jesus indeed. He's given me salvation and supplies my every need. I thank God for this special day in November. Thanksgiving is a day... I will always remember! By Jim Pemberton

It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room. It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor, there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before. It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl, there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control. I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped, that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped. Jack Prelutsky

It was mean the way that it always went down, We had to eat breakfast first, In our new pj's, or gown. Always up too early, Cuz of my bratty lil sis, And me being the middle, Not sure they would miss. No tearing into the packages Until, One at a time took a turn, then .....Take a picture, "sit still"! We each had to pause to ooooh And to ahhhhhh, I didn't care what they got, Awwww geez, maaaaaa! Had to pretend I liked what I got, Always some dang practical lot. I wanted a pony, not a darn clock, And that stupid tumbler to polish a rock. the Christmas music playing soft In the background, and my Dad looking all sentimental always made me sad. My mom cooked a great dinner, and invited her folks, it was a polite Occasion but with no telling jokes. We had to place nicely our gifts under the tree, all day long for all to see I wanted to horde and just run to my room, hide away with my stash, away from them all, But I had to share space with that sibling of doom! But I guess all in all what I love to recall .....as I pause, Is remembering Dad singing, God is my Santa Claus.
