Thanksgiving Blessings

Gathered round, the table glows,
A feast of gratitude flows.
Laughter dances, hearts entwine,
Joy in every bite, divine.

Crisp leaves fall, the air is sweet,
Family bonds make us complete.
In this warmth, our spirits soar,
Thankful for love, always.

A Table of Gratitude

T ogether we gather around a table,
H earts full of gratitude with loved ones nearby
A romas of dishes fill the air, cooked with care
N uturing bonds interwoven through love in the air.
K indness abundant with small gestures
S haring our memories that we cherish
G ifts of moments, as memories flourish
I nviting the warmth of joy alive
V oices in laughter, as time slips away,
I n this celebration, we find the right way.
N ow is the season, when blessings take flight,
G iving thanks for each treasure, from morning till night.

Gunther McGiblets, The Tasteful Turkey: Artwork & Poem


Gunther McGiblets has the greatest taste
And it’s not the kind from a butter baste.
His gift of Feng Shui
Will blow you away.
If eaten, his talents would go to waste.

Unwavering Hope

Am I helping?
Or making it worse?
In my heart, I think yes,
But my mind seems to curse.

I reach out to you,
But I start to fear—
Am I sharing comfort,
Or just causing tears?

Though the way might be tough,
I’ll stay by your side,
For life is a journey,
Together we’ll glide.

So I’ll keep on trying,
With hope in my heart,
Even in struggles,
We’ll never part.

DIVIDE
DERISION
COLLISION

In a world where thoughts collide,
Voices clash, and feelings divide.
Derision hangs, sharp and cold,
Yet in the noise, new truths unfold.

Collisions spark, lighting the way,
In every conflict, we find a way.
Though we may stumble and drift apart,
From the chaos, we mend our hearts.

CALCULATE
ADD
DEDUCT

In a world where numbers dance and play,
We calculate the wonders that light our way.

With hopes we add, reaching new heights,
In formulas woven, we find our delights.

Yet life has its costs, and we deduct our fears,
Through trials and laughter, we cherish the years.

So, here’s to the dreamers, with pens in hand,
In the magic of math, we together stand.

WRONG
ERROR
MISTAKE

In a world where lines can bend,
We face the wrong, we seek to mend.
With every error, lessons learned,
Through every mistake, our hearts have turned.

We stumble now but rise anew,
With stronger faith in all we do.
For in our flaws, we find our way,
Embracing truth in each new day.

So let us cherish every scar,
And know that shining light is who we are.
From wrong to error, from mistake to grace,
We build our path, a brighter space.

ARTFUL
CARELESS
CARRY

There once was a painter so artful,
Whose brush strokes were always quite heartful.
But in a fit of care,
She spilled paint everywhere,
And the wall turned a mess, oh so dartful!

She tried hard to carry the weight,
Of her blunder that sealed her fate.
With laughter she cried,
As colors worldwide,
Made her gallery truly first-rate!

Share Your World: 25th November

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you like snow? I like snow in small increments, and luckily, I live somewhere where I can do that.
2. Did you build a snowman as a child and dress it with coal eyes, a carrot nose, etc.? When I was able to go to the mountains when there was snow, I did build a snowman, but I did not dress it up because the trips were last minute, and we didn’t bring snowman-building supplies, lol.
3. Did you have snowball fights? Yes, there was one time when my sister and brothers were old enough to indulge in a snowball fight.
4. Did you have a sleigh? Unfortunately, no, I do not.

Gratitude:

WONKY
BONKERS
NUTS

In a land that’s quite wonky, lived a man named Bert,
With shoes made of lettuce and a hat full of dirt.
He danced with the squirrels and sang silly tunes,
Juggling some acorns beneath the bright moons.

“Oh, isn’t he bonkers?” the people would say,
As he rode on a goat and laughed all the way.
So if your day’s boring and you need some fun,
Just think of old Bert and let laughter run!

You Are a Masterpiece

You are special
You are unique
You are one of a kind
You are a rare diamond that people seek after
You shine with a brilliance all your own,
You inspire and uplift those around you,
You are a treasure in a world that often feels blue.
You are a masterpiece and so much more.

Finding True Light

In busy halls where whispers play,
Popularity shines bright each day.
Smiles are masks, hiding some pain,
Hearts grow heavy under the fame.

We chase the glow, wanting to be seen,
But true worth is found in moments serene.
While others seek what fades away,
I’ll cherish the love that’s here to stay.

Amidst the glitter, I’ve come to see,
True light comes from inside me.
It’s in the bonds that feel so real,
That’s where my heart learns how to heal.
