Winter’s white advent
And long-awaited cousins
Storm in together.
Hand-crafted candle holders
Light up our Leah.
Turkey, rolls, Jell-O,
And two wriggling, hungry boys
All set for Thanksgiving.
Loved ones from afar
Lonely next-door neighbor
Come to dine and sing.
Banana cream pie,
Deviled eggs, Charlie Brown’s Christmas—
Here's to tradition!
Scavenger hunt, trampoline,
Story time, snow ice cream—
What’s your pleasure?
Wives, moms, expectant mothers—
Growing together.
Bathing-suits, beach balls,
And delighted shrieks and squeals
Ricochet the room.
For memories made
And heaven’s unending feast
We thank You, our Father.
