Happy Thanksgiving
"The Pumpkin"
Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich pumpking pie?
-John Greenleaf Whittier
A Very Happy Thanksgiving to All!
...and don't forget to leave some room for the pie : )
