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.
