Memories of Thanksgiving
A Thanksgiving past
Turkey and oyster dressing
Grandma baked the pumpkin pie
Mama whipped the cream
Grandpa always blessed the meal
He intoned our gratitude

A Thanksgiving past
We gathered in the kitchen
And not in a dining room
Mom's cranberry sauce
Made with the whole cranberry
Memories of Thanksgiving
