Pluck This Ole Turkey:
Grief Amidst Holidays
Two days before "Thanksgiving"
With disgust in my heart--
For man-made festivities,
I don't want any part...
Who says we're to celebrate
On that specific day
When holidays infiltrate
thanks-givings ev'ry day!
How ~ for crying out loud,
Do I party in a crowd:
"Turkey's ready ~ Ham's a fryin' --
Will you ask her to stop cryin'?!"
"Good ~ everybody's here ~
Are you sad again this year?"
"Okay ~ it's time to draw names --
Your child's missing? We can't be blamed!"
"You don't have any time t' grieve today --
We've got to shop and buy all day!"
"Picture time ~ put on that smile...
It's holidays ~ forget that child!"
"Now let's take time to give thanks ~
We'll name our kids ~ Just leave yours blank..."
Uhmm... I can't come...I'm on a diet ~
I'll stay home, have...peace and quiet!
How thankful I am this year...
God comes close to catch each tear...
