> Ever since I can remember,

> long before the crack of dawn,

> flurries and leaves in wispy winds,
> as our mother's long day begins.
>
> Placing pumpkins beside the front door,
> setting the table for twenty or more.
>
> Into her cozy kitchen she goes,
> creating tradition as only she knows.
>
> A muffled clanging in our heads
> as we still slumber in our beds.
>
> Then, as if by some magical spell,
> spicy, sweet scents begin to dispel.
>
> Aromas in the atmosphere rise,
> waking our senses and opening our eyes.
>
> Cinnamon, saffron, nutmeg, and sage.
> Stuffing the turkey, she's setting the stage.
>
> On the stovetop simmering away,
> delicious side dishes are at play.
>
> Deep dish apple and pumpkin pie
> rest on the windowsill nearby.
>
> Family and friends begin to arrive.
> Some a bit tired from the drive.
>
> Children running in and out.
> Happy laughter all about.
>
> The smell of turkey sweeping the air.
> Thanksgiving time is finally here!
>
> Out of the oven all golden brown,
> her turkey is our table's crown!
>
> Dad, with his big wide grin,
> slices the turkey nice and thin.
>
> Smiling with her dimples so sweet,
> she knows Thanksgiving is complete.

> Now we give thanks to the Lord above
> for this bountiful blessing made with love.
>
> Many Novembers have come and gone.
> We try to carry her memories on,
>
> but the one thing we can never replace
> is mom's sweet smiling dimpled face.
