An Original Thanksgiving Poem by Trudie Gavette
As each Season fades and blends into another..memories remaining keep a vigil that the passing Season will come again... And come again it does, whether Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall...each one becomes a favorite of all!! The present Season is a time for "Thanksgiving"...being thankful for the natural beauty and bountiful blessings bestowed us by our Creator!!! Let this feeling of "Thanksgiving", enrapture our Souls..trimphantly resounding like beautiful music "unfolding"!!!
