autumn's last leaf falls
the harvest now over
a chill fills the air
in this home
warmth surrounds you
like a blanket at night
memories shared
love shared
hopes shared
a time to reflect
and a time to look ahead
to give thanks for all
prayers offered
prayers heard
Thank you…

Thanksgiving
The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
President Lincoln proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1863.
