Thanksgiving

"November"--8 by 10 watercolor

Thanksgiving Day

       is a journey of years, 

of lives, 

of memories, 

of tears,

of laughter, 

of togetherness, 

of separation,

of places

      and tables

      far and near.

Bountiful plates

      of food

are only symbols

      of  servings

of  years between

and family and friends

      gathered around tables

as the journey continues.
