(21) "Thanksgiving"


(21)
“Thanksgiving”
cji
11/25/16
Without a fancy name
mostly a feast of harvest
limited supplies and foods
but a special gathering
ringing the town bell
calling all to the market
(this is where we meet)
a bit of socializing doing
seeing the new-born babies
who’d gotten married
new settlers coming in
a time then to bow heads
led in prayer gratefully
then to partake of foods
each bringing something
then dispersing for homes
manning the security places
finishing the daily chores!
