Blessings abound.

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.

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.

Tony’s Search for Joy

In a town with bright sunshine,
Lived a man named Tony, so fine.
With a smile and a heart full of cheer,
He loved to laugh and spread joy near.

Never a phony, just kind and true,
Handsome and helpful, with friends old and new.
But deep inside, he felt a need,
For someone special, to share his good deeds.

So, Tony kept shining, with hope each day,
Believing that love would soon come his way.

Journey of Aspirations

Aiming for goals, dreams in our sight,
Passion ignites, making spirits take flight.
Pathways to progress, we eagerly trace,
Learning and growing at our own pace.
In every endeavor, we strive to engage,
Creating connections as we turn the page.
Action and focus, our future in hand,
Taking each step, together we stand.
Inspiration found in the journey we share,
Opening doors, with courage we dare.
Nurturing visions, a world to explore.

Whispers of Memory


In the calm of the evening,
Shadows stretch and sigh,
Memories feel heavy,
Soft whispers float by.

Laughter once filled the air,
Now it echoes in the trees,
Each sound a reminder
Of moments lost like leaves.

Though distance pulls us apart,
Your memory means a lot,
In my heart, you’re always close—
In every song I’ve got.

Sitting in the car
Waiting for my uncle now
Grocery shopping
Hoping he will come out soon
To enjoy this sunny day…
